EU trade data reports

The reports listed below have been automatically generated thanks to the trade analysis functions offered by the trade dashboard. All data is sourced from Eurostat, either from the Comext or from the Prodcom database. They cover the years 2015-2025.

Those reports are meant to make intelligible the quantitative data plotted on the dashboard. They focus on the main market dynamics for each product, and provide tentative explanations for those changes.

Such auto-generated reports are not meant to replace human analysis, only to accelerate it. It is usually fairly hard to properly understand the internal dynamics of a sector without having direct contacts with the actors of that sector. And it is quite impossible to formulate relevant policy recommendations without sector-specific insights as well.

This latter task, in-depth policy analysis, is my main domain of expertise. So if you need policy advice on European trade and industrial policy, or a point of contact in Brussels, reach out to me at support@tradedashboard.eu
