That dollar amount reflects a 36.6% increase compared to $17.494 trillion five years earlier in 2020.
Year over year, the overall value of worldwide exports slowed to a 1.1% rise from $23.633 trillion for 2023.
As assessed by total revenues, the top 10 export countries are mainland China, United States of America, Germany, Netherlands, Japan, South Korea, Italy, Hong Kong, France and Mexico. Combined, those leading exports-based economies represent about half (50.2%) of global exports by all countries, islands or territories.
Based on statistics from the International Monetary Fund, the total Gross Domestic Product (GDP) on a Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) basis for all exporting geographies totaled $196.1 trillion in 2024. That global economic benchmark rose 5.7% compared to $185.6 trillion one year earlier for 2023.
Based on the above metrics, exported products accounted for 12.2% of overall worldwide economic output during 2024 as measured against GDP in Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) terms. That percentage compares to 12.7% one year earlier, suggesting the relatively declining importance of exported goods in terms of global economic performance.
As of 2024, the earth’s population was roughly 8.2 billion. Applying that metric, the $23.9 trillion in total exports translates to approximately $2,925 for every person on the planet in 2024. That per capita estimate exceeds the average $2,850 one year earlier.
