This should be front-page news. The collapse in UK goods exports is the single biggest reason why UK economic growth hasn’t picked up in recent years.
Brexit is a big part of it, but there’s also a major China shock to UK export competitiveness that’s gone largely unnoticed in UK political debate.

The UK goods deficit hit record high in 2025 (in values and volumes terms). This in part reflects the flatlining of goods exports over the last decade: "the volume of UK goods exports last year was still smaller than in 2014".
