U.S. exports of trade goods to the world 1987-2023

Over the past three decades, the total volume of the trade goods exported from the United States experienced an overall positive trend and grew significantly. However, periods of global economic turmoil took its toll on this growth along the way. In the aftermath of the global financial crisis of 2007-2008, the U.S. export volume of trade goods suffered a substantial decline, marking the end of a six-year trend of uninterrupted growth. In the following 13-year period between 2010 and 2023, the volume of export trade goods had a rather unstable profile, with noticeable fluctuations. The total volume of exported trade goods from the U.S. fell to about 1.42 trillion U.S. dollars in 2020, illustrating the impact of coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on the country’s international trade activities. Nevertheless, the export volume of trade goods recovered rapidly in the following years, reaching over two trillion U.S. dollars in 2023. U.S. International trade   The United States is the second largest trade goods exporter in the world, and has a total annual export value (services and goods combined) of over two trillion U.S. dollars. That said, for the last two decades, the U.S. had a trade deficit in trade goods, making the country a net importer of goods in terms of trade value. The majority of the goods the country is exporting are manufactures.   U.S. export destinations    The top two destinations of U.S. exports are, unsurprisingly, the country’s northern and southern neighbors, namely Canada and Mexico. The volume of U.S. export of trade goods to Canada alone oscillated between 250 billion U.S. dollars and over 300 billion U.S. dollars in the last decade.

在过去的三十余年间，美国出口的贸易商品总量呈现出总体上升的态势，并实现了显著的增长。然而，全球经济动荡的时期亦对这一增长造成了不利影响。在2007-2008年全球金融危机之后，美国贸易商品的出口量遭受了大幅下降，标志着持续六年之久的稳定增长趋势的终结。在2010年至2023年的接下来的十三年间，出口贸易商品的量呈现出了相当不稳定的特征，波动显著。2020年，美国出口贸易商品的总价值下降至约1.42万亿美元，这一现象凸显了新冠病毒（COVID-19）大流行对该国国际贸易活动的影响。尽管如此，在随后的年份中，贸易商品的出口量迅速恢复，并在2023年超过了2万亿美元。美国国际贸易概览——美国是世界上第二大贸易商品出口国，其年度出口总值（包括服务和商品）超过2万亿美元。尽管如此，在过去二十年里，美国在贸易商品方面一直存在贸易逆差，使得该国在贸易价值上成为商品净进口国。该国出口的商品主要是制成品。美国出口目的地概览——不出所料，美国出口的前两大目的地是其北部的加拿大和南部的墨西哥。在过去十年中，美国对加拿大的贸易商品出口量仅在2500亿美元至3000亿美元之间波动。
