Berlin’s foreign trade - Made in Berlin
Berlin products continue to be in high demand across the globe: In 2022, Berlin-based companies exported goods valued at more than 16 billion euros.
Berlin companies exported goods worth 16.5 billion euros to 207 countries in 2022. With growth of 3.9% compared to the previous year, Berlin exports are well below the national average (+14.3%), but exceed the pre-crisis level of 2019 (15.2 billion Euro). The small increase in goods exports is mainly due to the consequences of Russia’s war against Ukraine.
With a share of 9.5% of all Berlin exports, the United States remains the most important customer for Berlin goods, followed by China, France, Poland and the United Kingdom. 45% of all Berlin exports went to the EU (excluding Great Britain).
Berlin's exports to the euro zone rose by 3.6%, mostly due to growth in exports to France, Italy and Spain. Exports to all EU countries (excluding Great Britain) also increased by 2.7%. Exports to the United Kingdom, on the other hand, fell by 3.4%. With an increase in exports of 11.3%, China ranked second among the top exporters, while France remains in third place with export growth of 4.8%.
