Top Exporters of Printed Maps, Charts and Atlases

The United Kingdom leads in the export of printed maps, charts, and atlases with $59.78 million in 2023, followed by Spain and Italy with $22.06 million and $21.03 million, respectively. China, Germany, and the Netherlands all contribute significantly, each nearing $19 million, while the United States, France, Greece, and Belgium lag with values below $20 million. Noteworthy, the year-on-year growth for these countries displays varied performance. Over the past five years, the combined Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) for the sector reflects a steady but modest upward trajectory.

Future trends to watch include increasing digitization, which may impact printed map demand. However, niche markets for physical maps in education and leisure sectors remain robust. Monitoring the balance between traditional and digital mapping products will be crucial for exporters.
