Tabeltoelichting
This table contains data on earnings from exports of goods and services. It shows which share of GDP and the labour volume in the Netherlands can be attributed to these exports.
This information is broken down into export types, such as exports of Dutch products and re-exports.
Data available from: 2010
Status of the figures:
The data for 2021 through 2024 are final. The data for 2025 are provisional. The data for 2010 through 2020 have been revised as part of the revision of the national accounts for reporting year 2021 and backcast to 2010.
Changes as of November 2026:
In 2024, Statistics Netherlands (CBS) revised the national accounts for reporting year 2021. This revision introduced new sources, methods and concepts into the national accounts to ensure that the picture of the Dutch economy was once again optimally aligned with all underlying statistics, sources and international guidelines for compiling the national accounts. This table presents the figures following the revision. In 2026, the revision was backcast to the preceding years, going back to 2010. For more information about the revision, see Section 3.
When will new figures be published?
The figures are updated annually. The new figures are published nine months after the end of the reporting year and are marked as provisional. The final figures are published after 21 months.
Toelichting onderwerpen
- Export value
- The value of all exported goods and services, including costs insurance freight (CIF), up to the Dutch border.
- Value added due to exports
- The value added equals the production (in basic prices) minus intermediate consumption (in purchasing prices). The output is valued at basic prices, i.e. the selling price excluding the trade and transport margin and excluding any taxes on products paid and subsidies on products received. The intermediate use is valued at the purchase value excluding non-deductible VAT.
- Value added as percentage of gdp
- The value added by the gross domestic product (gdp). The gdp is the final result of productive activities of production units in the Netherlands. It equals the sum of value added in all sectors of industry.
- Value added as a percentage of export
- The value added divided by the export value.
- Imports intermediate goods and services
- Goods and services used as inputs in the production process.
- Imports for re-exports
- Goods that were imported before being exported, after having received at most minor adaptions.
- Labour volume
- The amount of labour used to produce goods and services for exports. This is expressed in labour years.
- The labour volume used to produce goods and services for exports divided by the total labour volume in the Netherlands.
