NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK, USA, February 17, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The United States has become the fourth largest importer of Portuguese products and the main export market for Portugal outside the European Union, surpassing the United Kingdom. According to the USITC, in 2021 Portuguese exports to the US reached an amount of 4,8 billion dollars, a 32% increase when compared to 2020 (3.6 B USDs). Even when taking into consideration the negative impact of the covid-19 pandemic in 2020, the Portuguese exports grew 27,5% when compared to 2019 (3.8 B USDs). — Luis Castro Henriques, CEO of aicep Portugal Global
Besides petroleum oils, which still lead the Portuguese exports to the US, pneumatic tires, pharmaceutical products, articles of natural cork, footwear, bed and table linens, wine, paper and apparel represent a substantial portion of the Portuguese exports to the US.
Other products such as furniture, optical and medical instruments, turbojets and turbopropellers, ceramic tableware, and fish and crustaceans have also seen considerable increases.
“2021 was a record year for Portuguese exports worldwide. Our companies have remained extremely reliable and resilient and have been able to quickly adapt to the after-pandemic new normal in international trade”, said Luis Castro Henriques, CEO of aicep Portugal Global, Portugal Trade & Investment Agency, the Portuguese government agency responsible for helping the Portuguese companies in their internationalization processes or export activities.
“The supply chain disruptions caused by the pandemic have made the US realize its dependence on asian suppliers, which have led to a shift in the sourcing policies of many companies, creating opportunities for new suppliers. We are extremely grateful that many US companies and consumers have recognized the excellent price/quality ratio that Portuguese products have to offer”, said João Mota Pinto, aicep´s director and the Portuguese Trade Commissioner to the USA.
