The top three partners of 21 EU countries accounted for more than half of their total exports within the EU. For five of the remaining EU countries, their top three partners represented between 40 per cent and 50 per cent of their intra-EU exports. Germany was the only EU country with a share of under 40 per cent, as per Eurostat.
The largest increases in intra-EU export shares over the past two decades were reported for energy products (up 6 percentage points) and chemicals (up 4 percentage points). These increases can largely be attributed to price effects. The smallest growth in shares were for raw materials (up 1 percentage point), as per Eurostat.
