DHL Export Barometer 2020

22 June 2021

Launched in 2003, the DHL Export Barometer is an annual indicator analysing the confidence of Australian export businesses in the global export market, emerging industry trends and growth strategies.

Businesses surveyed this year ranged in size from smaller operations with fewer than five employees, to large organisations with more than 100 staff. The data is weighted by services (20%) versus goods (80%).

This group of exporters represented a broad cross-section of the country, with New South Wales/ Australian Capital Territory (NSW/ ACT) businesses making up 39% of those surveyed, Victoria/ Tasmania (VIC/ TAS) businesses 30%, Queensland (QLD) 11%, Western Australia (WA) 13%, and South Australia/ Northern Territory (SA/ NT) 6%.
