Iceland’s goods exports remain highly concentrated, with seafood and aluminium together making up roughly 73% of total goods exports, according to a report highlighted by Vísir. This reliance on a small number of products can increase economic risk and make the country more vulnerable to shocks in those sectors, with implications for trade and policy decisions.
Despite this concentration, Icelandic export sectors reportedly face a smaller threat from foreign competition, especially from China, than is the case for many EU nations. Vísir noted that Iceland’s unique export structure may help insulate it from some of the pressures currently affecting manufacturing in Europe.
