Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Brazil dominates Paraguay's aluminium scrap exports, accounting for 65.4% of value but just 59.7% of weight—a Value-Volume Gap signaling premium demand for higher-grade material. India, the second-largest destination, shows a narrower gap (13.2% value vs. 14.2% weight), suggesting bulk processing. The remaining partners (e.g., U.S., Thailand) follow a similar mid-tier pattern, indicating Paraguay’s export structure prioritizes value-driven markets over sheer volume. This skew toward Brazil reveals a strategic reliance on premium pricing, likely tied to Brazil’s industrial refining capacity. The supply chain is optimized for high-margin buyers, not mass throughput.
