Foreign Trade in Figures

Ireland is a very open economy, and therefore very dependent on the international economic situation and vulnerable to external shocks. Trade accounts for around 237% of GD (the sixth-highest level globally - World Bank, latest data available). According to data by the Central Statistics Office (CSO), in 2023, exports of chemicals & related products totalled over EUR 126 billion, making up nearly two-thirds of total exports. Machinery & transport equipment accounted for 13%, and food & live animals exports reached EUR 14.4 billion, or 7%. Imports were dominated by machinery & transport equipment, which made up 38% of total imports, valued at over EUR 53 billion, including aircraft. Chemicals & related products imports were valued at EUR 40 billion (28%), while food & live animals accounted for 7% of imports.

In 2023, the U.S. was Ireland’s largest export market, receiving EUR 54 billion in exports, which accounted for 28% of the total. The UK followed as the second biggest export partner with EUR 22.4 billion (11%), followed by Germany with EUR 20.4 billion (10%). Belgium and the Netherlands (9% each) rounded out the top five export markets. In 2023, the UK was Ireland’s largest source of imports, with over EUR 26 billion in imports (19% of the total). The U.S. followed with EUR 23 billion in imports (16%), followed by France (13%), China (8%), and Germany (6%) completed the top five import partners (data CSO).

The Irish trade balance is structurally in surplus. According to the WTO, in 2023. Ireland exported goods with a total value of USD 209.5 billion (-2.1% y-o-y), while imports were stable at USD 147 billion. The country also exported USD 397.6 billion worth of services (+2.1%) against USD 389.3 billion in imports (+9.2%). The country’s trade balance was estimated to be positive by 39.9% of GDP in 2023 (World Bank). According to the Central Statistics Office, in the first 11 months of 2024, Ireland's goods exports grew by 14% to exceed EUR 207 billion compared to the same period in 2023, whereas imports fell by EUR 6.8 billion.
