EU export share by member state 2002-2023

The export trade of the European Union with the rest of the world is dominated by a few member states, notably Germany, Italy, France, and the Netherlands, who collectively make up more than half of EU exports. A few other smaller economies in the EU also have a significant export share, such as Belgium, Spain, Ireland, and Sweden, making up collectively a fifth of EU exports. Poland and Czechia, the two most economically successful countries of the post-communist states who have joined the EU since 2004, both strongly increased their share of total EU exports over this period, with Poland's share more than doubling since the early 2000s.
