Export profiles reveal each economy's comparative advantage, resource endowment, and industrial structure. Below are leading export categories for major economies (based on recent UN Comtrade / WTO data).
| Country | Top Export Categories (by value) |
|---|---|
| Australia | Iron ore, coal, natural gas (LNG), gold, wheat, beef, wool, lithium |
| Brazil | Soybeans, crude oil, iron ore, corn, beef, sugar, coffee, poultry, aircraft (Embraer) |
| Canada | Crude oil, vehicles/parts, natural gas, lumber, wheat, potash, gold, aluminum |
| China | Electronics (phones, computers), machinery, textiles/apparel, furniture, toys, steel, EVs/batteries, solar panels |
| France | Aircraft (Airbus), luxury goods, pharmaceuticals, wine/spirits, cosmetics, nuclear tech, agricultural products |
| Germany | Vehicles/parts, machinery, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, electrical equipment, medical devices, steel |
| India | Refined petroleum, diamonds/jewelry, pharmaceuticals, rice, ICT services, textiles, autos, steel |
| Japan | Vehicles, semiconductors, machinery, electronic components, robots, steel, chemicals, anime/games |
| Mexico | Vehicles/parts, electronics, machinery, oil, medical devices, avocados, berries, beer, auto parts |
| Russia | Crude oil, refined petroleum, natural gas, coal, wheat, metals (Al, Ni, Pd), fertilizers, timber |
| Saudi Arabia | Crude oil, refined products, petrochemicals, plastics, fertilizers, dates |
| South Africa | Gold, platinum group metals, diamonds, coal, iron ore, vehicles, citrus, wine |
| South Korea | Semiconductors, vehicles, petroleum products, machinery, displays, petrochemicals, ships, K-culture |
| UAE | Crude oil, gold, diamonds, petroleum gas, aluminum, jewelry, re-exports (trade hub) |
| United Kingdom | Services (financial, insurance, IT), vehicles, pharmaceuticals, machinery, aerospace, whisky, crude oil |
| United States | Services (IP, finance, travel), refined petroleum, crude oil, gas, vehicles, aircraft, semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, soybeans, corn |
Note: Services exports (often >50% for advanced economies) are harder to track than goods. "Re-exports" inflate hub economies (UAE, Singapore, Hong Kong, Netherlands). Data year: ~2022–23.
