The pie charts illustrate changes in the percentages of exports from different European countries to India and China in both 2005 and 2015.
Overall, the proportion of exports from Germany was highest in both years, with the exception of the year 2005 when the United Kingdom was the dominant exporter in India.
In 2005, the United Kingdom contributed nearly a third of its exports in India, which was higher than that of Belgium, at 25%, after which both figures showed a slight decrease to 13% for the former and 20% for the latter in 2015. In contrast, the value of exports from Germany saw an opposite trend, increasing steadily from 15% to 25%. Meanwhile, the exports of Findland remained constant at 2%, whereas the figures for the other countries climbed relatively slightly by around 1%.
In comparison, starting at 38%, China received a noticeable rise of 10% of exports from Germany ten years later. Similarly, there was a marginal rise of merely 1% from Netherlands and Spain. Over the same period, while Austria and Belgium maintained their exports at 2% and 5% respectively, the remaining countries witnessed a downward trend in a 10-year period.
