Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Guatemala dominates Colombia's refrigerators and freezers exports, accounting for 18.23% of value but only 19.34% of weight, indicating a premium market where buyers prioritize higher-grade or specialized units. Ecuador, the second-largest partner, shows a tighter value-weight alignment (14.79% vs. 13.78%), suggesting balanced trade in mid-range products. The overall structure reveals value-driven demand in Central America, with Guatemala acting as the premium hub, while other markets like Honduras and El Salvador follow similar but less pronounced trends. This signals a strategic focus on higher-margin exports rather than bulk volume, optimizing profitability over scale. Supply chains are likely tailored to meet differentiated regional preferences.
