What you can analyse
Pick a product and the dashboard unlocks five menus<br>of views — every chart can be flipped to a data<br>table and downloaded as Excel or PNG:
Overview
The big picture: totals, main partners, member-state<br>breakdowns and maps.
Overview — headline import and<br>export quantities, values, average prices and<br>the trade balance.
Breakdown by trading partner —<br>per-partner quantity, value and price series,<br>ranked by volume or value.
Breakdown by EU member state —<br>the same detail for each reporting EU country.
Geographic view of imports /<br>exports<br>— choropleth maps shading every country by trade<br>volume or value over time.
Market structure
Who holds the power in this market? Trade dominance,<br>specialisation and the real output behind it.
Trade concentration (HHI) — the<br>Herfindahl-Hirschman Index showing how dependent<br>trade is on a handful of partners or member<br>states.
Geographic view of concentration<br>— a map of how concentrated import and export<br>flows are across countries.
Comparative advantage (trade) —<br>the revealed symmetric comparative advantage<br>(RSCA) of each EU member state, showing who<br>specialises in the product relative to the EU<br>average.
Production volumes and<br>concentration<br>— actual PRODCOM output and unit values, plus<br>how concentrated that production is across<br>reporting countries.
Cross-section (when comparing)
Drill into sub-products: appears once you select<br>multiple codes, or a parent code that has children.
Compare products — several<br>codes (or a parent split into its sub-products)<br>plotted on shared charts.
Volatility by product — which<br>sub-products swing the most.
Concentration compare — partner<br>concentration (HHI) per sub-product, side by<br>side.
Volatility & shocks
How stable is the trade? Normal fluctuation, sudden<br>collapses, price shocks and pattern breaks.
Volatility —<br>coefficient-of-variation of trade flows for each<br>partner × product pair.
Sudden volume changes —<br>detection of abnormal collapses in trade<br>volumes, ranked by how statistically unusual<br>they are.
Rapid price changes — detection<br>of sudden price regime shifts relative to each<br>flow's usual volatility.
Price & volume change summary<br>— a before/after view around a chosen date,<br>flagging demand-driven growth, supply<br>constraints, oversupply risk and market<br>contraction.
Strategic autonomy
How dependent is the EU on imports, and who controls<br>production? Built on PRODCOM (DS-059358) production<br>data combined with trade flows.
Net import reliance (NIR) — net<br>imports as a share of apparent EU consumption<br>(production + imports − exports).
Trade intensity — a sector's<br>exposure to international trade ((imports +<br>exports) ÷ (imports + production)), using the<br>Commission's CEEAG carbon-leakage / State-aid<br>methodology.
Export propensity — the share<br>of EU output that is exported (exports ÷<br>production).
Evolution of sub-contracting<br>intensity<br>— how much EU output is toll (sub-contracted)<br>manufacturing rather than own-account<br>production, over time.
Geographical distribution of<br>sub-contracting intensity<br>— the same own-account vs. toll split mapped<br>across reporting countries, revealing processing<br>hubs.
