Over the past three decades, the total volume of the trade goods exported from the United States experienced an overall positive trend and grew significantly. However, periods of global economic turmoil took its toll on this growth along the way. In the aftermath of the global financial crisis of 2007-2008, the U.S. export volume of trade goods suffered a substantial decline, marking the end of a six-year trend of uninterrupted growth. In the following 13-year period between 2010 and 2023, the volume of export trade goods had a rather unstable profile, with noticeable fluctuations. The total volume of exported trade goods from the U.S. fell to about 1.42 trillion U.S. dollars in 2020, illustrating the impact of coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on the country’s international trade activities. Nevertheless, the export volume of trade goods recovered rapidly in the following years, reaching over two trillion U.S. dollars in 2023.
