THIS IS EXPORT THIS IS WALES

Wales has long been a successful trading nation with strengths in a whole range of sectors including manufacturing, life sciences, energy, tech, finance, food and drink, and more. Our award-winning goods and services are exported all over the globe and, despite being a small nation of three million people, we are excelling on the world stage.

Exports are vital to the Welsh economy and have played a key role in helping Welsh companies to not only remain resilient during challenging times but to continue to thrive today.

Latest export figures show the value of goods exports from Wales has increased beyond pre-Covid levels, despite global trading markets remaining unpredictable, and Wales is on track to maintain and grow its export performance. It is an exciting time to be a Welsh exporter as well as for partners overseas who are looking for high quality products and services.
