Exports

Exports form the backbone of global trade, fueling economies by shipping goods and services across borders to generate revenue, create jobs, and drive innovation. In 2025, world merchandise trade hit a record $35 trillion with 7% growth, propelled by South-South exchanges where developing nations now direct 57% of their shipments to fellow emerging markets, up from 38% in 1995, led by Asia's manufacturing hubs and expanding African-Latin American ties.
