According to the report obtained by the Jordan News Agency (Petra), industrial exports rose to JOD 7.969 billion during the first 11 months of 2025, compared with JOD 7.292 billion during the same period in 2024.
The report noted that industrial exports accounted for approximately 92% of total national exports, highlighting the pivotal role of Jordanian industry in supporting the trade balance, promoting economic growth, and sustaining positive momentum despite regional and global challenges.
This record performance was driven by the strength and diversity of the national production base, with a wide range of industrial products contributing to export growth, including cement, chemical fertilizers, phosphates, raw potash, food products, chemicals, and jewelry, demonstrating Jordanian industries’ ability to compete and meet the demands of regional and international markets.
The report identified eight key industrial sectors as the main drivers of export growth:
Construction materials led with a 120% increase, driven by higher demand for building and construction materials, particularly in the Syrian market.
Engineering and electrical industries grew by 15.8%.
Food, agricultural, and supply industries increased by 14%.
Mining rose by 12.7%.
Plastic and rubber industries grew by 8.9%.
Regarding export markets, the report showed that Arab countries remain the primary destination for Jordanian industrial exports, accounting for 42% of total exports. Syria led Arab markets with an increase of about JOD 180 million, followed by Saudi Arabia with an increase of JOD 112 million.
Exports to European markets also saw significant growth of 45%, particularly to Italy, the Netherlands, and Germany, with a total increase of about JOD 186 million, reflecting the success of Jordanian industry in diversifying export markets and strengthening its presence in non-traditional markets.
The chamber emphasized that these results reflect the sustained export capacity of Jordanian industry in terms of quality, diversity, and price competitiveness, as well as its ability to meet increasing demand in Arab and European markets within a clear strategy to open new markets and strengthen presence in traditional ones.
The report highlighted that Jordanian industry remains a cornerstone of economic growth, providing job opportunities, increasing foreign currency reserves, and supporting the national economy.
It stressed the importance of continued effective partnership between the public and private sectors to improve the industrial investment environment and support exports, ensuring sustainable industrial performance and long-term competitiveness.
