Chewing Gum: import and export
March 24th 2023
Chewing gum has become an ever-present part of modern culture, but its origins can be traced back thousands of years.
In fact, the ancient Greeks and Mayans are known to have chewed resin from various trees and plants for medicinal purposes. It was not until the 19th century, however, that modern chewing gum as we know it today was invented. In 1848, John B. Curtis began selling spruce-flavored gum in Maine, which was later popularized by William Wringley Jr. and his company.
Despite some controversy surrounding the environmental impact of discarded gum, today chewing gum is enjoyed by millions of people around the world, with a wide variety of flavors and types available on the market.
In 2020, Chewing gum was the world's 2165th most traded product, with a total trade of $797M. Its trade represents 0.0048% of total world trade.
In 2020 the top exporters of Chewing gum were China ($72.6M), Mexico ($59.7M), Russia ($58M), United Arab Emirates ($56.7M), and Canada ($52.2M), while the top importers were United States ($98.2M), United Arab Emirates ($57.8M), Saudi Arabia ($43.3M), Germany ($32.3M), and Kuwait ($19.7M).
