Top 10 Peru's Exports by Country & Company in 2024 - Tendata

Located along the western coast of South America and bordered to the east by Brazil, the Republic of Peru shipped an estimated US$74.7 billion worth of goods worldwide in 2024.

This marks a significant 92.6% increase from $38.8 billion in 2020. On a year-over-year basis, Peru's exports rose by 16%, compared to the $64.4 billion achieved in 2023.

The Peruvian Sol also gained strength over time. Between 2020 and 2024, the currency appreciated by 7.2% against the US dollar, and by 0.4% between 2023 and 2024. This appreciation meant that Peru's exports, when priced in stronger Sols, became relatively more expensive for international buyers paying in US dollars.

Recent figures reveal that 82.7% of Peru's exports went to a select group of nations. Leading the list is China (33.8%), followed by the United States (12.8%), India (6.3%), Canada (5.1%), Japan (4.5%), and Switzerland (3.5%). Other notable buyers include the Netherlands, Chile, Spain, South Korea, UAE, and Brazil.

From a regional standpoint, over half (52.9%) of Peru's export shipments were directed to Asia. Another 19.2% went to North America, while 16.1% landed in Europe. The remaining exports were distributed to Latin America (11.2%), Africa (0.6%), and Oceania (0.1%)—primarily Australia and New Zealand.

With a national population of about 34.1 million, Peru's $74.7 billion export total equals roughly $2,200 per person in 2024. That's an increase from $1,850 per capita the year before.
