Singapore leads, but Taiwan’s goods-export density is far above Korea and Japan.
Export intensity per square kilometre turns trade scale into geographic density. Taiwan’s land area is small relative to its export role, which makes the ratio visually powerful. The comparison should be treated as a density metric, not a measure of export efficiency or welfare.
Source-labelled because the peer set mixes WTO profile values, WTO/UNCTAD table values, WITS Netherlands data and land-area sources. Values are rounded to US$ million per km².
Divide 2024 merchandise exports by land area or surface area in square kilometres. Taiwan uses WTO/MOF export data and Taiwan land area; peer exports use WTO/WITS values and World Bank land/surface-area values where available.
