Trade in Emerging Markets
Commodities are the wheels that drive Emerging Economies and sustain Advanced Economies throughout their industrialization and competitiveness. Largely composed of trade flows involving developing countries, the volume of international trade in goods has increased dramatically over the last fifteen years.
In this dynamic, developing countries and Emerging Economies have almost doubled their volume since 2009, according to United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNTAD)’s 2021 reports.
The commodities market is particularly noticeable in this upward trend. For example, World commodity trade as a share of total merchandise trade peaked at 33 percent in 2011, while World commodity exports reached US$6.055 trillion in the period from 1995 to 2011, accounting for a fivefold increase.
In 2021, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) reported an expansion by 26.1 per cent of annual merchandise imports for the G20, to some extent due to high commodity prices.

The direct participation of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in the Global South’s and Emerging Markets’ trade in commodities mainly occurs in the form of acquisitions of specific items for their supply chain.
Thus, SMEs from Advanced Economies, next to the usual suspects (‘Multinational Corporations, MNCs), increasingly attempt market entry in the Global South to set brownfield investments or develop strategic business partnerships in various industries, spanning from oil and gas, minerals, timber to agricultural food products.
Business enterprises from developing countries and Emerging Markets reach out to buyers, suppliers, and manufacturers in the BRICS markets and Advanced Economies.
However, for businesses to successfully navigate commodity markets, trade flows, and market entry in developing countries and Emerging Economies, in most cases, advisory support and capacity-building assistance make the difference.
