UK trade in goods by business characteristics

UK trade in goods by business characteristics data details international trade in goods by industry group, business size, and business age

HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) has linked the UK overseas trade in goods statistics (OTS) with business statistics from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) Inter-Departmental Business Register (IDBR). This provides statistics on the attributes of UK businesses with overseas trade in goods. Attributes are by industry group, business size, and business age. Within each of these categories, the focus is on trade value, business counts, and employee counts.

This is a collection of all UK trade in goods statistics by business characteristics on GOV.UK. These are official statistics. Releases prior to the 2023 release were ‘official statistics in development’, previously called ‘experimental statistics’. Information on types of official statistics is available on the UK Statistics Authority website.
