2021年美国进口增长基础广泛,汽车和零部件、家居用品、玩具和服装实现两位数百分比增长。2021年由于新冠疫苗而摆脱社会孤立的美国消费者继续将大部分钱花在商品上,而不是旅游和面对面娱乐等服务。
尽管电子产品和食品的进口没有像其他商品那样快速增长,但它们的长期增长轨迹仍在继续,这反映了美国经济的增长,其中低失业率和更低的利率推动了强劲的消费支出。(注意这里描述的是2021年的情况)
食品、化学品和塑料以及农产品的出口同样受到港口拥堵的阻碍,港口拥堵扰乱了船期,导致运力和集装箱设备短缺。对某些类型废金属的需求上升为可回收材料出口带来了一线希望,但由于主要出口市场(即中国)更严格的环境法规,废纸量持续长期下降,抵消了这一增长。
