Chile’s export growth reflects its status as a major global supplier of copper and other minerals. Exports rose from $8.3 billion in 1990 to $94.5 billion in 2023. The early 2000s marked a significant expansion, with export value more than doubling between 2003 and 2006, fueled by high copper prices and increased demand from China.
While exports dipped in 2009 due to the financial crisis, they rebounded in the following years, peaking again in 2022 at $98.5 billion. Chile's focus on free trade agreements and diversification into non-traditional exports like salmon and wine has helped sustain its export value, ensuring resilience against global market fluctuations.
