The Republic of Peru exported US$90.1 billion worth of products around the world in 2025. That dollar amount results from a 60.1% expansion from $56.3 billion five years earlier in 2021.

Year over year, Peruvian exports advanced by 20.6% compared to the $74.7 billion in international revenues during 2024.

Applying a continental lens, more than half (54.9%) of Peru’s exports by value was delivered to Asian countries while 18.1% was sold to importers in North America.

Peru shipped another 15.5% worth of goods to customers located in Europe.

Smaller percentages were consumed by buyers in Latin America (9.5%) excluding Mexico but including the Caribbean, Oceania (1.8%) led by Australia and New Zealand, then Africa (0.2%).

Well over nine-tenths (95.4%) of Peruvian exports in 2025 was delivered to the above 25 trade partners.

The leading growth markets for Peru were Australia (up 1,704% from 2024), Germany (up 51.4%), United Arab Emirates (up 48.9%), India (up 38.4%), Italy (up 37.9%) and Spain (up 34.1%).

Recording percentage decreases for their purchases of Peruvian exports were buyers in Panama (down -44.1% from 2024), United Kingdom (down -5.2%), Japan (down -3.7%), Brazil (down -3.4%) and Switzerland (down -1.1%).

As defined by Investopedia, a country whose total value of all imported goods is higher than its value of all exports is said to have a negative trade balance or deficit.

It would be unrealistic for any exporting nation to expect across-the-board positive trade balances with all its importing partners.

Peru incurred the highest trade deficits with the following countries.

Among Peru’s trading partners that cause the greatest negative trade balances, Peruvian deficits with Trinidad and Tobago (up 77.6%), Colombia (up 67.7%) and the United States of America (up 58.6%) grew at the fastest pace from 2024 to 2025.

These cashflow deficiencies clearly indicate Peru’s competitive disadvantages with the above countries, but also represent key opportunities for Peru to develop country-specific strategies to strengthen its overall position in international trade.

Overall, Peru recorded a US$29.1 billion trade surplus in 2025, expanding by 48.3% from $19.6 billion in black ink for 2024.

Based on Investopedia’s definition of net importer, a country whose total value of all imported goods is lower than its value of all exports is said to have a positive trade balance or surplus.

Peru incurred the highest trade surpluses with the following countries.

Among Peru’s trading partners that generate the greatest positive trade balances, Peruvian surpluses with Canada (up 61.4%), United Arab Emirates (up 49.8%) and Spain (up 49.8%) grew at the fastest pace from 2024 to 2025.

In addition, Peru transitioned from a -$96.8 million deficit trading with Australia to posting the billion-dollar surplus listed above.

These positive cashflow streams clearly indicate Peru’s competitive advantages with the above countries, but also represent key opportunities for Peru to develop country-specific strategies to optimize its overall position in international trade.
