That dollar amount for the Asian aggregation of countries results from a 37.4% increase from 5 years earlier in 2020 when exported goods from Asia totaled $6.65 trillion.
Year over year, the overall value of Asia’s exported goods grew by 7.7% compared to $8.53 trillion for 2023.
International sales of products originating from Asia represent 38.2% of the value of exports from all countries around the world. Asia’s percentage in 2024 is higher than that continent’s 38% share of overall exports back in 2020 and greater than the 36.1% portion for 2023.
Calculated using statistics from the International Monetary Fund’s World Economic Outlook Database, the total Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for Asian countries on a Purchase Power Parity (PPP) basis amounted to roughly $88.4 trillion for 2024.
Therefore, Asia’s total exported goods account for an estimated 10.3% of total Asian economic output in terms of GDP on PPP basis in 2024 (US$88.4 trillion). That percentage lags the 11.9% in the prior year.
Given Asia’s population of approximately 4.8 billion people for 2024, the total $$9.14 trillion worth of products exported from Asian countries translates to about $1,900 for every person living in Asia. That dollar metric lags the average $2,200 per capita one year earlier during 2024.
