Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Brazil dominates Paraguay's aluminium scrap exports, accounting for 72.4% of value but only 67.23% of weight, signaling a premium market where higher-grade or processed scrap commands better pricing. China and the U.S. follow as secondary hubs, but their lower value-to-weight ratios (8.04% vs. 10.51% for China, 6.51% vs. 7.95% for the U.S.) suggest bulk-oriented trade. Belgium and Spain, with value shares exceeding weight shares, hint at niche demand for refined specifications. The structure reveals a cost-efficient supply chain, prioritizing Brazil’s premium appetite over diversified high-volume flows.
