How concentrated Lebanon'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 — Lebanon's trade_flows records don't carry product-level detail to break this down further.

Every one of Lebanon's 170 real trading partners reported for 2024 under UN Comtrade (LB) — a complete, deduplicated partner breakdown for this exact country/source/period combination, not a global top-N slice.

Firm-level entry/exit/survival dynamics for Lebanon'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 Lebanon against all 68 covered countries.
| Metric | Latest value | Year | Trend (2008–2012) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Number of exporting firms | 4,820 | 2012 | |
| Incumbent exporting firms | 3,076 | 2012 | |
| New entrant exporting firms | 1,744 | 2012 | |
| Exiting exporting firms | 1,728 | 2012 | |
| Firm entry rate | 36.2% | 2012 | |
| Firm exit rate | 36.0% | 2012 | |
| Exporter concentration (EDD HHI, 0–1 scale) | 0.074 | 2012 | |
| Product categories exported (distinct HS4 codes) | 1,000 | 2012 | |
| Avg. export value per exporting firm | $904.5K | 2012 | |
| Median export value per exporting firm | $42.0K | 2012 | |
| Avg. destination countries per exporting firm | 3.2 | 2013 | |
| Median destination countries per exporting firm | 2.0 | 2013 |
The 2012 mean is 22x 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.
