Exports from Africa totaled US$497.3 billion in 2018. That dollar amount reflects a -7.4% decrease since 2014 but a 17.8% uptick from 2017 to 2018. In comparison, global exports from all countries equaled $19.347 trillion in 2018, rising 2.4% in value since 2014 and appreciating by 10.2% from 2017 to 2018.

Africa’s exports represent an estimated 2.6% of total world exports in 2018.

Based on statistics from the International Monetary Fund’s World Economic Outlook Database, the total Gross Domestic Product for Africa calculated on a Purchase Power Parity (PPP) basis amounted to roughly $6.813 trillion in 2018. Therefore, exports account for about 7.3% of Africa’s total economic output.

Given Africa’s population of about 1.264 billion people, the total $497.3 billion in 2018 exported goods originating from continental Africa translates to roughly $400 per African resident.
