The U.S. Is the #3 Manufacturing Exporter

The United States is the third largest exporter of manufactured goods, ranking below the European Union and China but well ahead of fourth-place Japan. The export market shifted dramatically in recent years via the rapid rise of China to pass the United States. In 2000, U.S. manufacturing exports were more than three times as large as China’s, while in 2013, Chinese exports were 85% higher.
