Global trade surged 12.5% this year, hitting $13.7 trillion, led by Asia-Pacific—especially China and South Korea—with AI and autos driving exports. But growth is slowing: while developing East Asian economies still outpace the global average, removing them shrinks global trade gains. South Korea’s exports jumped 20%, China’s 11%, Japan’s 4%. Geopolitics are reshaping ties—Canada leans into China, U.S.-China relations cool, and Southeast Asia gets caught in the crossfire. Much of the boom stems from higher prices, not volume. UNCTAD warns East Asia’s growth will dip to 3.7% and China’s momentum will ease—big numbers, but a cooling economy ahead.
