Statistician's Comment

The Central Statistics Office (CSO) has today (19 November 2025) published Goods Exports and Imports September 2025.

Commenting on the release, Jane Burmanje, Statistician in the International Trade in Goods Division said: “Ireland’s exports of goods exceeded €28 billion in September 2025. The largest increase in exports was due to pharmaceuticals which represented almost two-thirds (65.5%) or €18.7 billion of total exports.

Medical & Pharmaceutical Products rose by €7.9 billion (+73.6%) to €18.7 billion in September 2025 compared with September 2024 (€10.7 billion).

Exports of goods to the United States more than doubled to €16.3 billion (+126%) in September 2025 compared with September 2024 (€7.2 billion) with Chemical & Related Products, which include Medical & Pharmaceutical Products, making up more than 90% of these exports (€14.8 billion).

Both imports and exports of goods were up in the first nine months of the year compared with the same period last year; exports increased by €46.1 billion (+27.7%) to €212.2 billion and imports rose by €5.5 billion (+5.5%) to €104.8 billion.”

Editor's Note

The most recent month’s data on External Trade in Goods figures are provisional and subject to revision. Revisions to the monthly series back data shall take place, if and as required, on foot of late survey returns, VAT returns and corrections made by traders. The data for the same month a year ago may be considered final – revisions would be applied only in exceptional circumstances. Revisions are applied also to the volume indices and to the seasonally adjusted data.
