About

World Trade Atlas is a public reference for bilateral goods trade: a country atlas covering 226 reporters over 1995–2024, and a set of editorial data stories built on the same published dataset. Everything on screen is read from validated, pre-computed artifacts — the site has no database, no API server, and no model filling in gaps.

What it is: a fast way to see who exports what to whom, how shares and ranks have shifted since 1995, and where trade is concentrated — with units, years, sources, and caveats attached to every figure.

What it is not: a forecasting tool, a services-trade tracker, an inflation-adjusted history, or a record of shipping routes. Where a story leans on proxies or scenarios, it says so in the claim block at the top.

The dataset is CEPII BACI under the HS92 classification; methods and caveats are documented on the methods page, and every artifact is downloadable from the data page.
