Charger US exports are relatively small ($2.34M) compared to imports ($952M), reflecting that the US is primarily a charger consumer market, not a manufacturing/export hub. The 2025 decline in transaction count and buyer numbers suggests consolidation toward fewer, higher-value shipments. The average unit price rose 21% to $17.59, indicating a shift toward industrial/commercial-grade equipment rather than consumer electronics.
