This Top Markets Report identifies and ranks export markets where focusing finite government resources will have the greatest impact in terms of increasing commercial opportunities for U.S. companies. This study distills market forecasts and quantitative assessments into overall market scores that rank export markets relative to three critical traits: first, markets that are large and growing in absolute terms; second, those that have a defined and increasing need for imported technology and services; third, those where U.S. exports are lower than expected based on markets with similar characteristics. This last component indicates that policy and trade barriers might exist and where U.S. government intervention on behalf of American exporters would be most helpful.
This report is part of the Top Markets Series. Each report ranks future export opportunities within a particular industry based on a sector-specific methodology.
