Data for 2025

Export Concentration Index, 2025

2025, as UNCTAD’s 2026 release gives it · stored as published, never rewritten

The export concentration index measures how far a country's merchandise exports are concentrated in a few products rather than spread across many. It runs from 0, exports spread evenly across every product group, to 1, a single product — the classic measure of how exposed a country's export earnings are to the price of one or two goods.

Export Concentration Index, 2025 covers 213 countries on 3 measures. Sint Maarten is highest, at 0.93345; Poland is lowest, at 0.05881. The middle country reads 0.30604. Against 2024, 213 values changed (107 up, 106 down), the same countries are covered.

Read before you use

How values are stored
  • One year of the 2026 release

    Every year in this series comes from UNCTAD’s 2026 release, recalculated on one method, so a change from one year to the next is not a revision. It can differ from what was first published for 2025.

  • 94 empty cells

    An empty cell means the publisher gave no figure. It is never a zero.
