Trade partner concentration — by country, all commodities, current

How concentrated Egypt's trade is across its top partner countries, computed from currently-tracked trade flows (not the historical 1997–2015 World Bank dataset). Measures country-to-country concentration only — Egypt's trade_flows records don't carry product-level detail to break this down further.

Bilateral trade flows
Egypt is not among the top tracked corridors — its bilateral flow records exist in the full 1,821,338-row dataset but aren't yet browsable individually on this site.
Full partner list for 2025

Every one of Egypt's 177 real trading partners reported for 2025 under UN Comtrade (EG) — a complete, deduplicated partner breakdown for this exact country/source/period combination, not a global top-N slice.

Historical Exporter Dynamics
Historical dataset — World Bank Exporter Dynamics Database, 1997–2014, frozen. The World Bank has not published a newer edition; this never updates. Egypt also has a single-year firm entry/exit snapshot on /labor-market.

Firm-level entry/exit/survival dynamics for Egypt's exporting firms, whole economy (not broken down by product) so every figure below is a genuine national rate — never an average across incompatible product categories. See /exporter-dynamics to compare Egypt against all 68 covered countries.

The 2012 mean is 23x the median — a small number of large exporting firms account for most of the export value; the typical firm exports far less than the average figure suggests.

Entrant survival curve — 2011 cohort of new exporting firms: 52.2% still exporting after 1 year — later years not yet available for this cohort (the World Bank vintage ends before enough time passed to observe them).

Top product categories among Egypt's exporting firms by number of exporters, 2012 — each row is a real, separately-reported HS2 product category, never combined with another.
