The Global Trade Flows Service draws on the firm’s forecasts of the world economy, analysing trade flows between 180 country pairs, with additional bilateral flows by product for 33 major economies.

Forecasts take into account factors such as the growth of demand in the destination market and the exporter’s competitiveness. Exports, imports, and trade balances are identified, with historical estimates and forecasts to 2035 for each country relative to all other nations in the databank. For each pair of exporting and importing countries, the service shows forecasts exports, imports, and visible trade balance.
