The Granite State may be small, but it’s making a big name on the global stage. New Hampshire’s exports surpassed $7 billion in 2022, a record and $1 billion more than in 2021. A large portion of this was driven by electrical machinery, which is the state’s top export and grew 14% compared to 2021. Desire for electronic integrated circuits (ICs) around the world has increased demand from some traditional trading partners like Canada and Germany. State officials credit the success to the “pro-business, pro-worker agenda” and the hard work local companies have done securing new global markets during the disruption from the pandemic.
