Geographic Concentration & Market Logic
Brazil dominates Paraguay's plastic packaging exports, accounting for 73.7% of value but 81.4% of weight—a Value-Volume Gap revealing Brazil's role as a bulk hub for cost-efficient, high-volume shipments. Argentina follows with 20.9% value share but only 14.9% weight, suggesting slightly higher-value demand. The remaining markets (Bolivia, Uruguay, etc.) are marginal, reflecting a trade structure optimized for regional scale over premium pricing. This heavy reliance on Brazil signals a supply chain prioritizing volume-driven economies rather than diversified high-margin markets.

Paraguay HS Code 3923 Breakdown & Value Logic
yTrade data reveals HS Code 39233090 (plastic carboys/bottles) dominates Paraguay's Q3 2025 exports, capturing 74% of value and 70% of quantity—a clear volume-driven play. The remaining sub-codes (lids, boxes, etc.) are fragmented, with none exceeding 8% value share, signaling a market prioritizing bulk, low-cost plastic packaging over premium closures or specialized solutions. This aligns with Paraguay HS Code 3923 Export trends favoring high-volume, utilitarian containers, likely servicing regional agri- or industrial supply chains. The absence of unit price data suggests commoditized pricing, reinforcing a race-to-the-bottom dynamic. Verdict: Paraguay’s plastic packaging export engine runs on mass, not margin.
