Industrial exports grew by 1.4% last year, reaching 7.8 billion dinars, compared to 2023, despite regional challenges.
According to the President of the Jordan and Amman Chambers of Industry, Engineer Fathi Al-Jaghbir, industrial exports accounted for approximately 92% of total national exports last year, according to an analysis of foreign trade data issued by the Department of Statistics.

Al-Jaghbir stated in a press release on Saturday that this growth and positive performance would not have been achieved without the continuous efforts made in collaboration with both government and private sectors to overcome obstacles facing industrial exports, work on opening new markets, and strengthen trade relations with international partners.
He added that the growth was driven by increased exports in four sub-industrial sectors, including leather, textiles, food and essential goods, livestock, medical supplies, and plastics and rubber. Meanwhile, construction and mining industries, packaging, wood, furniture, engineering, and electrical industries saw a decline.
Regarding the geographical distribution of industrial exports, Al-Jaghbir mentioned that the United States topped the list of destination countries, followed by Arab countries and European Union countries. Additionally, there has been expansion into many European markets, such as Ukraine, Belgium, Norway, Italy, and Finland.
He also highlighted the expansion of Jordanian industrial exports into markets like South Korea and Japan, and the entry into entirely new markets such as Myanmar, Latvia, and Luxembourg, which underscores the quality of Jordanian products. Today, exports reach more than 146 countries.
