The given pie charts compare the distribution of export shares from different nations in the European Union to India and China in 2005 and 2015. Overall, while Germany emerged as the foremost exporter to China throughout the period, the Indian market witnessed a significant change with Germany surpassing Belgium to become the dominant exporter in 2015.
In terms of India, the UK was the most prominent exports contributor in 2005 with 29%, which was closely followed by Belgium (25%). A decade later, considerable changes occurred when Germany surpassed Belgium to become the predominant exporter to India, whereas reliance on UK products declined markedly to 13%. Not only did Italy and France experience minor growth, but they also experienced minimal growth, reaching 9% by 2015. Meanwhile, the remaining countries saw a negligible share initially, all of which underwent a 1% increase in the following 10 years, except for Finland, whose figure remained stable.
Regarding China, Germany was the principal exporter to this nation, constituting 38% of the total share in 2005. The figure further continued to increase substantially to almost one-half by 2015, solidifying its leading position. There was modest growth in exports from Spain and the Netherlands, while the percentage from Austria and Belgium remained intact, at 2% and 5%, respectively. Other nations, which accounted for around 10%, experienced a slight decrease overall, with Sweden and Finland dropping with a more noticeable degree.
