Why Oxford Economics
Unmatched forecast breadth and granularity
TradePrism provides bilateral import and export forecasts across more than 5,000 goods, with additional detail by transport mode and port, offering forecast granularity at a scale few other trade forecasting services can match.
Fully harmonised, consistent trade data
TradePrism reconciles multiple international and national sources to address reporting discrepancies and fill gaps in bilateral trade flows, creating a complete, harmonised foundation for market comparison.
A trade outlook grounded in the wider economy
TradePrism combines Oxford Economics’ macroeconomic and industry forecasts with our trade gravity model to produce bilateral trade forecasts to 2050. This ensures changes in demand, production, policy and trading relationships are consistently reflected in our trade forecasts.
Direct expert support
Clients have direct access to Oxford Economics’ trade economists and wider economic and industry experts for questions on forecasts and methodology.
Benefits

- Identify growth opportunities before competitors do. Pinpoint opportunities for expansion and new revenue, or reposition ahead of changing trade dynamics as tariffs and geopolitics reshape the competitive landscape
- Make smarter capital allocation decisions. Assess the ROI of port infrastructure, warehouses and logistics assets with forward-looking cargo flow data to identify where capital investment will benefit most from future demand shifts.
- Understand your market and your rivals. Quantify market size and trajectory over time, and identify where rival exporters are likely to gain an advantage based on tariff changes or shifting bilateral flows.
