Amman, March 4 (Petra) -- Jordan’s industrial exports rose 10.2% in 2025, reaching JD8.89 billion, up from JD8.07 billion in 2024, on the back of higher external demand, according to an analytical report by the Jordan Chamber of Industry (JCI).
Prepared by the JCI Studies and Policies Directorate, the report said the results underscore sustained industrial momentum in supporting national exports and expanding the global footprint of Jordanian products despite regional challenges. It added that industry remains the core engine of the country’s export base, supported by a diversified production structure capable of meeting varying market requirements.
The JCI said Jordanian industrial products reached nearly 150 markets worldwide in 2025, with notable growth in both traditional and non-traditional destinations.
Syria recorded the largest increase in export value, up by about JD197 million to JD252 million, compared with JD55 million in 2024, a 355% rise that the report linked to improving trade activity and renewed demand for several Jordanian industrial products.
Italy ranked second in export-growth value, with exports rising by JD133 million to JD195 million from JD62 million in 2024, a 215% increase, reflecting deeper penetration of Jordanian products into European markets.
Exports to India rose by JD121 million to reach JD1.16 billion, compared with JD1.04 billion in 2024, up 11.6%. Exports to Saudi Arabia increased by JD102 million to JD1.23 billion from JD1.13 billion in 2024, a 9.1% gain, reinforcing the continued importance of regional markets for Jordanian exports.
Other markets also posted strong growth, including Switzerland, where exports rose by about JD82 million to nearly JD147 million, up 128.6%. Exports to Iraq increased 8.6% to about JD990 million, compared with JD911 million in 2024.
The report highlighted high-growth, non-traditional markets, including Bangladesh, where exports rose 772% to about JD76 million, and Serbia, which recorded exceptional growth of 1,939% to JD33 million. Djibouti also posted a 1,114% increase to JD26.6 million. Additional markets across Asia and Europe recorded varying gains, including China, the Netherlands, Germany, Thailand, Turkey, Libya, Hong Kong, Lebanon, Morocco, and the Philippines.
By value, the United States remained Jordan’s largest export destination in 2025 at JD2.18 billion, followed by Saudi Arabia at JD1.23 billion and India at JD1.16 billion. Iraq recorded exports of about JD990 million, while exports to the UAE reached JD319 million.
The JCI said the geographic expansion of industrial exports reflects the success of efforts to diversify export destinations and reduce reliance on a limited number of markets, with growth increasingly driven by a mix of established regional outlets and expanding European, Asian, and African demand. It added that wider product and market diversification strengthens the resilience of Jordan’s exports against global economic volatility.
