Country export capability
A reported view of El Salvador's export scale, destination network, sector breadth, trade history, and market-access context. Use the indicators together; no single measure describes export readiness on its own.
Country export profile overview
This profile brings together export performance, trade balance, destination markets, HS2 sectors, partner breadth, history, and market-access context for country export research.
Export scale and balance
In 2024, El Salvador recorded $6.3B in exports and $14.5B in imports. The resulting -$8.2B trade balance gives the latest country-level position a clear context.
Exports changed -2.1% year on year and show a calculated -1.2% three-year CAGR. CAGR is an annualized comparison of reported values, not a forecast.
Markets and sectors
USA, Puerto Rico and US Virgin Islands received $2.2B in reported exports, representing 34.8% of the latest country total. Knitted clothing was the largest displayed HS2 export sector at $1.6B and 25.2% of exports.
The visible page highlights five leading destinations and five leading HS2 sectors, while the complete structured files retain every row supplied for this sample.
History and coverage
The country series covers 1995 through 2024, with 30 observed annual rows. That longer view helps separate a single-year movement from the broader export trend.
Partner counts, tariff context, concentration, exposure shares, and momentum are supporting indicators calculated from available trade observations. Missing values remain unavailable rather than estimated.
Economy and structure
Macroeconomic and structural indicators add context to merchandise trade scale. They describe the country environment; they do not predict company performance or future exports.
