Exports are important for Australia.
Exports are important for Australia’s economy, even if they may benefit individual businesses. Exports are important for international trade, and they also create jobs and revenue by completing production and revenue.
Australia will be the 12th largest economy in 2023. A network of 16 free-trade agreements allows Australian businesses to access markets in Asia, North America, and South America.
Where do businesses decide to export?
When deciding on where to export goods or services, there are many things to consider. The economic conditions, the population, the customer profile, and the access to industries of a country can all be factors.

- Who is your target audience?
- What is the competition like?
- How your product will be placed in this market
- How will you distribute your product?
- If there are any different regulatory requirements
