Updated 20/06/2025

International trade in goods and services by end use

Updated 20/06/2025

Between 2017 and 2019, EU exports increased across all categories (Figure 1). However, the COVID-19 pandemic led to a sharp decline in exports for all types of goods and services. The most significant drop was observed in final services, followed by capital goods. In 2020, final services experienced the steepest decline - falling 39 percentage points (pp) below 2017 levels for exports and 40 pp for imports. This dramatic downturn was largely due to the health and sanitary restrictions implemented in response to COVID-19, particularly in the first half of 2020.

Final services are primarily driven by travel-related activities, such as expenditures by foreign tourists and travelers. With international travel virtually halted or severely restricted for much of 2020, the impact is clearly reflected in the decline of final services during that year. In contrast, the declines in goods were less pronounced but still notable.

By 2022, exports across all categories of goods and services had reached their highest levels since 2017. However, in 2024 (compared to the previous year), exports of capital goods declined by 2 pp, while exports of intermediate services, final services, intermediate goods and final goods increased by 14 pp, 11 pp, 4 pp and 1 pp respectively.

When compared to 2017 levels, all categories recorded growth by 2024. Intermediate services saw the highest increase, rising by 66 pp, followed by final services (+53 pp), intermediate goods (+43 pp), capital goods (+21 pp), and final goods (+18 pp).
