Overview
Trinidad and Tobago's exports stood at $14.6B in 2025, a rise of +$3.3B from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach $14.6B by 2025. Trinidad and Tobago ranked 99th globally.
Trinidad and Tobago’s export performance has expanded dramatically over the 51‑year series, rising from a low of 1,289,889,898.57 in 1975 to a peak of 19,557,228,922.69 in 2008, before settling at 14,581,799,860.24 in 2025, which places the nation 99th globally. The steep ascent through the 1990s and early 2000s reflects diversification beyond crude oil, while the 2008 high coincided with favourable commodity prices and regional demand. Since then, exports have contracted modestly, trailing peers such as Papua New Guinea’s 15,596,326,259.71 and Iceland’s 17,019,161,974.68, suggesting that the country’s trade profile remains vulnerable to external shocks and limited by its narrow product base. Continued investment in non‑hydrocarbon sectors and deeper integration into global value chains could reverse the recent downward drift, positioning Trinidad and Tobago for a more resilient export trajectory in the coming decade.
