Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Argentina dominates Paraguay's metal bottle caps exports, accounting for 50.2% of value but only 47.3% of weight, signaling a premium market demand for higher-grade or specialized specifications. Bolivia and Chile follow with significant volume shares (22.5% and 27.8% of quantity, respectively) but lower value ratios (25.0% and 23.2%), suggesting bulk hubs for cost-sensitive trade. The stark value-volume gap reveals a bifurcated strategy: Argentina drives premium revenue, while regional neighbors absorb mass-volume, lower-margin flows. This structure indicates a supply chain optimized for dual-track efficiency—balancing high-value specialization with scalable bulk distribution.
