Amman, August 29 (Petra) – Statistical data from the Jordan Chamber
of Industry (JCI) shows Jordan’s industrial sector exports grew by
8.9% during the first half of this year, marking an increase of
approximately JD400 million, compared to the same period in 2025.

According to the statistics prepared by the Chamber’s Policy and
Studies Department, Jordan’s industrial exports rose to JD4.4 billion
in the first six months of this year, compared to JD4 billion for the
same period last year.

This growth reflects the sector’s continued capacity to maintain its
export momentum and enhance presence of Jordanian products in
foreign markets.

The data indicates that the recorded growth in industrial exports
reflects expansion of the sector’s export growth base, which is not
limited to a small number of industries.

This growth also demonstrates ability of Jordan’s industrial
establishments to adapt to changes in global markets, develop their
products, and open new channels to reach consumers and foreign
markets, which enhanced “competitiveness” of national industry and
supported its role in the national economy.

Recording the highest export value increase, the chemical and
cosmetics sector led the list of industrial sectors, rising by
approximately JD107 million, or 11.4%, to reach JD1.042 billion.

This industry was followed by the construction sector, which saw
exports increase by around JD62 million, or 82.1%, reaching JD137
million.

During the January-June period, exports from the mining industries
rose by JD54 million, or 10.6%, reaching around JD568 million.
Meanwhile, the engineering, electrical, and information technology
industries surged by JD49 million, or 7.1%, bringing their exports to
approximately JD745 million.

Meanwhile, the food, beverage, agricultural, and livestock industries
recorded growth of 9%, an increase of approximately JD41 million.
Exports of plastic and rubber products rose by 20.3%, while wood and
furniture exports rose by 15.6%. Packaging, paper, cardboard, and
office supplies saw growth of 7.4%.

Exports from the industrial sector also witnessed “significant”
expansion in several destinations during the first half of the year.

Countrywise, exports to China increased by JD82 million, surging by
70%, while their value to Switzerland approximately reached JD80
million at 204%.

Exports to Iraq stood at JD73 million, rising by 16%, to the
Netherlands at JD41 million by 88%, and to the United Arab Emirates
by approximately JD45 million at 29%.

The food, beverage, agricultural, and livestock industries recorded
growth of 9%, amounting to an increase of approximately JD41 million.

The JCI figures also revealed exports to a number of other markets
recorded “remarkable” growth rates, mainly Thailand, as exports rose
by 115%, Argentina by 2,429%, Vietnam by 765% and Kazakhstan by 844%,
in addition to an increase in exports to the United Kingdom by 53%
