International trade; main trading countries, company characteristics

This table contains figures on the number of companies (absolute and relative) that import and export goods or services. These are companies that are active in the Business Economy. In addition, figures are available about the trade value, expressed in millions of euros. The data can be broken down into a few size groups, the independence of the company and the main countries (in terms of trade value) with which trade has been conducted. For trade in services, no breakdown by country is available for countries outside the EU. This table has been developed for the 'State of SMEs' programme. Data available from: 2015. Status of the figures: The figures in the table up to and including 2019 are final, those for 2020 and later are provisional. Changes as of October 7, 2022: The data for 2019 and 2020 have been adjusted on the basis of subsequent information. The data for 2021 has been added. When will new numbers come out? New figures are expected in mid-2023.
