WTO Stats Portal

Statistics on merchandise trade and commercial services trade (annual, quarterly and monthly) can be downloaded from the WTO's online database. Data can be filtered by economy, product/sector, and time period. Download data as an Excel file or csv file, or create an API account to access the data via API.

WTO Stats Dashboard

The WTO Stats Dashboard is a data visualization tool within the WTO Stats Portal. Data can be visualized via maps or as monthly, quarterly and annual charts.

Merchandise trade: specific tools

Merchandise trade statistics are published in value terms (annual, quarterly and monthly) and in volume terms (annual and quarterly). This includes information on total exports and imports and, where available, trade by product group and regional breakdowns.

Monthly merchandise trade statistics interactive tool

The new WTO monthly merchandise trade statistics interactive tool provides access to monthly bilateral trade data for 120+ economies and 200+ trading partners across 72 multilateral trade negotiations (MTN) product categories. It can be accessed in the WTO Tariff and Trade Data platform.

Services trade: specific tools

Commercial services data track which services (such as transport, travel, other commercial services, and goods-related services) are traded across economies on an annual, quarterly and monthly basis. Specialized datasets, such as the Digitally Delivered Services Trade Dataset, the Trade in Services by Mode of Supply (TISMOS) Dataset and the WTO-OECD Balanced Trade in Services Dataset, offer deeper insights.
