2026 Strategic Review: The Peru Export Market

Peru's export performance shows consistent growth over the last five years. Starting at $38.7 billion in 2020, value surged to $74.05 billion by 2024. This represents a robust trajectory, nearly doubling total export value within the period, indicating strong market expansion and increased global demand for Peruvian goods.

Mineral commodities dominate the export landscape, led by HS 260300 (Copper ores) at $20.4 billion and HS 710812 (Gold) at $12.7 billion. These two sectors alone account for the majority of top export revenue. Refined copper and agricultural products like berries also contribute significantly to the diversified trade portfolio.

China stands as Peru's primary export destination, commanding a dominant 46.15% market share ($29.3 billion). The United States follows as the second-largest partner at 15.53%. Together with India and Canada, these top markets represent the core of Peru's international trade, highlighting a strong reliance on Asian and North American demand.

Peru's export market shows robust expansion, led by the United Arab Emirates with a 100% growth rate. India follows closely at 98.6%, nearly doubling its trade value. Significant gains in Switzerland and Japan highlight a diversifying trade portfolio beyond traditional hubs, signaling strong competitive positioning in Asian and European markets.
