Austria: Transport services (% of service exports, BoP)

Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2025, Austria's transport services (% of service exports, BoP) fell 0.5 percentage points on 2024 (from 22.84% to 22.34%).

Across the 19 yearly changes before that (2006 to 2024), the average change was +0.15 percentage points and a typical year strayed about 1.88 percentage points from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.3 standard deviations below that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.

On record, the biggest yearly rise was 5.88 percentage points in 2006 and the biggest yearly fall was 3.12 percentage points in 2023. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.

From 2016 to 2025 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains less than 1% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
