How to read this view

Scale, momentum, and access belong in the same frame.

Trade value identifies the routes with the largest observed footprint. Growth shows how that footprint has changed over the available three-year comparison. Share indicates the route's position within the displayed product view.

Distance, FTA status, volatility, and signals add context from supporting bilateral datasets. Missing values are not filled or treated as zero.
