What the Data Shows
UK goods export product groups are ranked by 2025 export value using the official UK trade source series. The rows use five product groups and shares of the £384.5 billion UK goods-export total. Mechanical power generators ranked first at £45.5 billion and 11.8% of goods exports, followed by medicinal and pharmaceutical products at £38.7 billion. The top five product groups accounted for 37.4% of UK goods exports, with the leader about 3.5 times the fifth-ranked aircraft group.
