  • An Instituto de Economía Alemán (IW) study reports that goods trade between the EU and United States reached €875 billion and services €865 billion for 2025, marking record aggregate flows.
  • EU goods exports to the US rose 7.7% to about €580 billion while US goods imports to the EU grew 2.2% to about €295 billion, leaving an EU goods surplus near €285 billion.
  • Auto exports from the EU to the US fell 20.4% in 2025, with Germany alone seeing an 18.9% drop because it supplies about two‑thirds of EU vehicle shipments to the US.
  • Ireland’s exports to the US jumped 52.7% in 2025 as tariff‑exempt pharmaceutical and chemical shipments surged, concentrating gains in a few product lines and countries.
  • The study flags a €178 billion EU deficit in services driven by intellectual‑property payments, noting IP‑related imports made up more than 40% of US‑to‑EU services and grew strongly.
