17,699,476 million euros in 2014. Machinery, nuclear reactors and boilers kept descending from

If for Switzerland Germany is the first in the top of export partners, for Germany Switzerland is
only on the 7th position covering for 3.5 - 4,5% in the last 10 years. Netherlands is the first
importer, it covers for 9.6% and for the last 10 years they have always gained more than double
that Switzerland (51-88 million euros), China is pretty close and it managed to keep on getting
close, if in 2005 it covered for 6.5% nowadays it covers for 8.8%, their growth is much more
impressive than that of Netherlands which started from 8.3% but that happened because China
managed to impose as a manufacturer in the entire world. France lost part of its share, if it was
covering for 8.6%, nowadays it can be accounted for 7.3% mainly due to prices which are higher

than that of competitors. United States also kept on descending, like Italy, but their fall has been a
bit steeper, from 6.7%, they came to 5.5% whereas Italy lost only 0.5%.
For the United States, Switzerland is only on 14th position and it has been covering for ~1% but
this still brings in 23,670,258 euro, during the last 10 years those gains oscillated between 10-21
million, they registered even a drawback in 2009 when they gained with 1 million less. As it
happened in the case of Germany, China became the main importer for the USA place that was
considered to be kept safely by Canada. If in 2005 China covered for 15% of USAs imports, with
almost 2% less than Canada, it kept growing until they reached ~20% (19.9%) while Canada is
covering or 14.8%. In terms of money there can be also seen a difference, China in 2005 and
Canada in 2014 have almost the same share, still, Canada receives with ~50 million euros more,
but it is still a big difference than the money China earns nowadays (~350 million euro)
considering they used to receive 208,633,035 euro back in 2005. Mexico kept growing its market
share from 10% to 12.5% and they managed to gain ~221 million euros, which is considerably
more than ~138 million which is how much they used to gain in 2005.
In Italy, Switzerland is on the 9 th position covering for a stable percentage of 3%, they follow
closely the United States of America, which covers for 3.5% and they lost the 8 th position when
Russian Federation registered an almost 2% raise in market share (2008-2009). The first position
is kept by Germany (15.4%), even though it lost ~2% in the last 10 years it still imposes as a
leader on this top being followed by France which also lost ~1.5% covering nowadays for only
8.6%. The difference in percentage is the same as the difference in terms of money. China
somehow managed to register a continuous growth, from 4.6% to 7.1%, but they had a drawback
in 2011, in 2010 they reached the highest value of 7.8%, but this did not meant much in terms of
money (less than 1 million euro), yet they gain with only 5 million less than France (25,035,067).
