Austria went from 7% to 9.9% of world exports of soft drinks

In 2024, Austria accounted for 9.9% of recorded world exports and the three largest exporters together for 26.2%. HHI: 425 out of 10,000; equivalent to 24 exporters of the same size.

Share of recorded exports, not of production: a country that produces a lot and consumes almost all of it may export little

Some of these goods may have been produced in another country: countries record origin in different ways.

Methodology

Goods trade from CEPII BACI (BACI_HS92_V202601), which reconciles what exporters and importers report: countries that stopped reporting (Russia since 2022) appear with their partners’ data. FOB values in current US dollars; tonnes when BACI reports them. The price per tonne is the value of the rows with a weight divided by that weight. The transport mode is our own estimate based on value per kilo and geography. Data up to 2024.

Hong Kong, Singapore, the Netherlands and Belgium re-export goods from other countries: their figures include transit.
