Table explanation
This dataset provides figures on the development of export value and the contributions made by the various sections and divisions according to the Standard International Trade Classification (SITC), destination countries according to the Geonomenclature (GEONOM) and broken down by export flow (re-exports and domestic exports).
Data available as of: 2012.
Status of the figures:
The figures from 2012 to 2020 are final. The figures from 2021 are provisional.
The provisional figures on international trade can be adjusted based on new or changed source material. As a result, they are provisional for a longer period of time. The provisional figures usually become final in the fourth quarter after the reporting year. All previous years are already final. After a method break, the annual changes compared to the previous year are missing.
As of 3 February 2021 the "Export growth" of SITC 34 "Gas, natural and manufactured" over the year 2016 and the "Export growth" and "Contribution to total export growth" of SITC 60 and SITC 80 "Components of complete industrial plants (sections 6 and 8)" over the year 2018 have been modified in order to be consistent with the related StatLine table International trade; import and export value, SITC (3 digits), countries.
Changes as of 7 July 2025:
The provisional figures for 2023 have been added.
When will new figures become available?
New figures will be published in Q4 of the year following the reporting year.
Description topics
- Export growth
- Year-on-year changes in absolute value. Annual changes for 2015 were omitted due to the break in series 2014/2015.
- Contribution to total export growth
- The contribution of a specific category to the total percentage growth in goods exports, calculated by dividing the absolute change in a category by the total value change of goods exports, multiplied by the annual change of goods exports as a percentage.
