Situated south of its Nordic neighbors Sweden and Norway and sharing a border with Germany, the Kingdom of Denmark recorded US$133.7 billion in denmark's export sales during 2024.
That total reflects a 25.1% increase compared with $106.9 billion in 2020. However, year-on-year figures show a -1.8% decline versus the $136.1 billion exported in 2023.
When measured against the average exchange rate for 2024, the Danish krone depreciated slightly by -0.05% against the US dollar. This mild weakening made denmark's export goods—when priced in USD—more affordable for foreign buyers.
Denmark's five most valuable shipments were medication mixes in dosage, blood fractions and antisera, cars, pork, and refined petroleum oils. Together, these categories represented 21.9% of denmark's export value in 2024.
