The United States remained the Philippines’ top export market in June, with $1.76 billion, accounting for 20.1 percent of total exports. It was followed by Hong Kong with $1.34 billion (15.3 percent), People’s Republic of China with $1.00 billion (11.4 percent), Japan with $990.16 million (11.3 percent) and Singapore with $508.18 million (5.8 percent).
Exports to nine of the Philippines’ top 10 export markets registered double-digit growth in June 2026, reflecting broad-based strength across the country’s major trading partners. Among the top 10 destinations, only Japan posted a single-digit growth rate.
DTI Secretary Cristina A. Roque welcomed the country’s record export performance, recognizing the dedication of Filipino exporters in growing their businesses and bringing Philippine products to the global market.
“The historic export performance is a testament to the hard work, resilience and dedication of our Filipino exporters. Despite uncertainties in global trade, they continue to invest in their businesses, create opportunities for our people and proudly carry the Philippine brand into markets around the world,” Secretary Roque said.
She emphasized that it is the government’s responsibility to help exporters succeed: “We will continuously champion and assist our exporters to ensure that their hard work translates to a broader and stronger presence in the global market.”
“While we help exporters expand their global presence, we also strongly encourage them to tap into and strengthen their presence in our thriving domestic market. Solidifying their base here at home provides a stable platform for sustained growth and generates more local employment opportunities for Filipinos,” she added.
“The DTI will prioritize building stronger connections with more trade shows, opening more market opportunities by leveraging our FTAs [Free Trade Agreements], and providing the support our enterprises need to grow globally by linking them with investors and buyers. When the government, industry and exporters work together, we can push our exporters to grow beyond borders and create more opportunities for Filipino businesses to thrive,” Secretary Roque said.
The Department continues to strengthen the country’s export ecosystem through trade promotion, market development and strategic partnerships that help Philippine enterprises expand into international markets.
These efforts were recently highlighted during the DTI Bagong Pilipinas National Exporters' Fair 2026, which brought together more than 200 exporters and export-ready enterprises, 33 export enablers and partner organizations and industry stakeholders.
Through business matching, learning sessions, consultations, networking activities and product showcases, the fair created new opportunities for Philippine exporters to expand their market reach and brought world-class Philippine products closer to Filipino consumers.
DTI remains committed to working closely with government agencies, industry partners and the export community to strengthen the competitiveness of Philippine enterprises and create more opportunities for Filipino products in global markets.
