What part of merchandise exports is ores, concentrates and metals.
The ranking uses the latest available value for each country — the year is shown in the row. The table spans 1975 to 2025.
Top-20 · % of merchandise exports
The scale does not start at zero — the values lie in a narrow range, and starting from zero the bars would be indistinguishable. The axis ticks are labeled.

The share of ores, concentrates, non-ferrous and ferrous metals in merchandise exports. This is the second measure of commodity dependence after fuel, and the difference between them is meaningful: fuel is burned while metal stays in circulation, so a metallurgical specialization is more robust than an oil one to the shift to renewable energy — and demand for copper, lithium and nickel is exactly what that shift raises.
Important: Ores and metals together, with no split between raw material and processing: a country exporting concentrate and a country exporting rolled steel look the same by this indicator.
What part of merchandise exports is oil, gas, coal and refined products.
Mining 1995–2024 Lithium productionHow much lithium is mined in the world. Eight countries account for all of the output.
Mining 1995–2024 Cobalt productionHow much cobalt is mined in the world. More than two-thirds comes from one country.
Trade 1960–2025 Merchandise exportsExports of goods only, without services — WTO data.
