出口比例趋势

The line graph illustrates the proportion of Australian exports sent to four nations (Japan, the US, China, and India) between 1990 and 2012. Overall, while Japan and the US saw declining shares of Australian exports over the period, China emerged as the largest export destination by 2012, with India also recording a small but steady rise. In 1990, Japan was Australia’s biggest export market by far, receiving 26% of its exports, but this figure fell gradually to 17% by 2012, despite remaining above the shares of the US and India. The US was the second-largest market in 1990, at 12%, before its share fluctuated and dropped to 6% by the end of the period, ending on a par with India. By contrast, China’s share of Australian exports surged from just 2% in 1990 to a peak of 28% in 2012, overtaking Japan around 2007 to become Australia’s top export destination. India, meanwhile, saw a modest increase from 1% to 5% over the 22-year period.
