United States Exports
The United States is the world’s second-largest exporter, yet exports of goods and services account for only about 12–13% of US GDP. In 2025, global trade flows were reshaped by the introduction of new US tariffs and retaliatory measures from trade partners. The full impact of these policies may take time to appear in official trade data, as advance buying, customs delays, shipping disruptions, and broader supply-chain adjustments can temporarily distort reported flows. US exports reached a record high of just over $3.4 trillion in 2025. Machinery and transport equipment, particularly aircraft and road vehicles, accounted for the largest share, followed by mineral fuels and lubricants, chemicals and related products, and other manufactured goods. Exports of services also increased, supported by intellectual property, financial services, and other business-related services. The US’ largest export markets included the European Union (notably the Netherlands and the UK), Canada, Mexico, China, Japan, and South Korea.
