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

Firm-level entry/exit/survival dynamics for Nepal'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 Nepal against all 68 covered countries.
| Metric | Latest value | Year | Trend (2011–2014) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Number of exporting firms | 1,344 | 2014 | |
| Incumbent exporting firms | 1,202 | 2014 | |
| New entrant exporting firms | 142 | 2014 | |
| Exiting exporting firms | 179 | 2014 | |
| Firm entry rate | 10.6% | 2014 | |
| Firm exit rate | 13.0% | 2014 | |
| Exporter concentration (EDD HHI, 0–1 scale) | 0.018 | 2014 | |
| Product categories exported (distinct HS4 codes) | 595 | 2014 | |
| Avg. export value per exporting firm | $642.3K | 2014 | |
| Median export value per exporting firm | $94.0K | 2014 | |
| Avg. destination countries per exporting firm | 3.7 | 2015 | |
| Median destination countries per exporting firm | 2.0 | 2015 |
The 2014 mean is 7x 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.
