Eurostat data reveals that a significant majority of European Union businesses involved in international trade are primarily focused on imports. In 2024, only 21.3% of trading enterprises engaged in both importing and exporting, while 70.6% were solely importers. Despite their smaller numbers, these two-way traders were responsible for over 95% of the total value of goods traded, demonstrating their critical role in the EU's commerce.
The construction sector stands out for its heavy reliance on imports, with 87.3% of its trading enterprises operating as import-only businesses. This contrasts sharply with sectors like manufacturing, which showed a higher proportion of balanced import-export activity.
This data highlights significant structural differences in EU trade across various sectors, indicating where the economy is most reliant on external goods and services.
