2025 Oct Paraguay Plastic packaging (HS 3923) Export Snapshot: Surge in Volumes
October Trend: Paraguay Plastic packaging Export
Plastic packaging, classified under HS Code 3923 (Articles for the conveyance or packing of goods, of plastics; stoppers, lids, caps and other closures, of plastics), saw a sharp rise in export volume and value in October, despite a continued decline in unit prices. Shipments surged 40.79% month-on-month to 3.37M kg, while export value jumped 36.35% to $5.83M USD, even as unit prices fell 3.15% to $1.73/kg. The volume spike coincides with a Low Water Surcharge (LWC) imposed on Paraguayan river shipments, which may have prompted accelerated exports ahead of logistical disruptions. This marks the highest monthly volume and value since tracking began in January 2025. The sustained price erosion suggests competitive pressures or oversupply in destination markets.

Geographic Concentration & Market Logic
Brazil dominates Paraguay's plastic packaging exports, accounting for 74% of value but 81% of weight, revealing a bulk hub dynamic where Brazil processes raw materials at scale. Argentina follows as a secondary market (22.5% value share), but its lower weight ratio (16%) suggests slightly higher-value products. The stark value-volume gap in Brazil (weight share > value share) indicates Paraguay’s role as a cost-efficient supplier of bulk inputs, not premium finished goods. This structure points to a supply chain optimized for low-cost, high-volume trade rather than high-margin specialization. For Paraguay plastic packaging export destinations, Brazil’s dominance defines the trade logic: volume over value.
