The graph compares four nations in terms of products delivered from Australia over a period of 22 years starting from 1990.
Looking from an overall perspective, it is apparently evident that the rate of export goods in China and India increased gradually over the time surveyed, while that in Japan and the US saw plunges throughout. Specifically, China had the most striking feature, which consistently rose, compared to other countries.
Looking first at China and India, the former led the way with roughly 3%, just right above India in 1990. Over the next 15 years, the statistics for both countries showed a similar pattern, a gradual climb to 10% (China) and 5% (India). By 2010, China witnessed a significant growth to 25% before ending the period with an all-time high of nearly 27%. India, by stark contrast, slowly went up to about 12% in 2010, then sharply fell to nearly half the percentage of 2010 to finish the course.
Turning to the lower nations in 1990, Japan began at around 26% prior to a rapidly decline to 20% by 1995, then steadily dropped by 5% to conclude the period. Conversely, the US with the least frequency started with just 11%, after which Japan’s proportion fluctuated between the initial point and a low of below 5% for the next several years, then terminated with an identical date of 5% by 2012.
