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

Firm-level entry/exit/survival dynamics for Portugal'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 Portugal against all 68 covered countries.
| Metric | Latest value | Year | Trend (1997–2012) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Number of exporting firms | 25,682 | 2012 | |
| Incumbent exporting firms | 15,492 | 2012 | |
| New entrant exporting firms | 10,190 | 2012 | |
| Exiting exporting firms | 9,093 | 2012 | |
| Firm entry rate | 39.7% | 2012 | |
| Firm exit rate | 37.0% | 2012 | |
| Exporter concentration (EDD HHI, 0–1 scale) | 0.005 | 2012 | |
| Product categories exported (distinct HS4 codes) | 1,135 | 2012 | |
| Avg. export value per exporting firm | $2.0M | 2012 | |
| Median export value per exporting firm | $30.7K | 2012 | |
| Avg. destination countries per exporting firm | 3.2 | 2013 | |
| Median destination countries per exporting firm | 1.0 | 2013 |
The 2012 mean is 65x 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.
