Iran, on the eastern edge of the Middle East, landlocked by Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iraq in the northeast, east, and south directions, has poised its global import-trade upward trajectory with rapid urbanization and sectoral evolution. Iran Import Customs Shipment Sata represents the country's import valuation at US$120 billion in 2024. The population size and domestic demand, along with the economic isolation and diversification of import sources, are behind the increasing market-provisional growth. As described by Iran Import Trade Data, the imports account for 27% of the country's GDP and rank as the 51st globally leading importer worldwide. Domestic industrial needs, population-driven consumption, technological requirements, and government policies are the attributing factors behind the import market growth, says Iran Customs Data.
The growing healthcare demand, along with the medical infrastructure and the imports to counter the domestic production shortfall, have been shaping the trade landscape of Iran. As listed by Iran Shipments Data, the strategic geographic position and the regional trade corridors have enabled efficient import logistics. The imports of the nation are further initiated to support the reconstruction and maintain continuity in the global trade output. The dependence on imported fertilizers and agro-inputs for climatic and water scarcity-like solutions has maintained the alignment with the global standards.
