Situated in South Asia and strategically positioned between two major economies, India and China, Bangladesh continued to strengthen its presence in global trade. In 2025, the country exported goods worth approximately US$61.8 billion worldwide.

Compared with export revenues of US$52.3 billion in 2021, Bangladesh achieved an impressive 18.2% growth over five years. On a year-over-year basis, exports increased by 8.4%, rising from US$57 billion in 2024.

The nation's export sector remains heavily dependent on the apparel industry. Clothing and fashion-related products, including both knitted and non-knitted garments, contributed more than 85% of Bangladesh's total export earnings in 2025.

According to the average exchange rate in 2025, the Bangladeshi taka appreciated by 30.1% against the U.S. dollar compared with 2021 and strengthened by 5.4% from 2024 to 2025. A stronger domestic currency can make Bangladeshi products relatively more expensive for overseas buyers purchasing with U.S. dollars.

With a population estimated at 174 million, Bangladesh's export value equates to roughly US$360 per person in 2025, exceeding the previous year's average of US$350 per capita.
