**Notes:**

* The EU is ranked as one economy; its member states are not ranked. Extra-EU (the EU's trade with non-members) is shown beneath it and is not ranked.
* From 2000 the EU figure is WTO's own series for today's 27 member states (EU-27), in every year, including years when the membership was different. The United Kingdom is ranked on its own.
* Before 2000 the EU figure is added up from the member states of each year (EC-9 in 1980, EC-10 in 1981-1985, EC-12 in 1986-1994, EU-15 in 1995-1999), the United Kingdom included; economies that joined later are ranked on their own. Extra-EU cannot be added up and shows "...". If a member state has no data for a year, the EU shows "...".
* Break at 2000: EU figures before 2000 (members of that year, added up) and from 2000 (WTO's EU-27) are on different bases, so no EU change or growth rate is shown across 2000.
* Economies ranked in 2002: 137 exporters, 140 importers.
* "Above 10" is the sum of the ten ranked economies. "..." means not available.
* In the "Above 10" shares for years before 2000, the United Kingdom is counted once, as part of the added-up EU, not a second time on its own.
* Shares are of world textiles exports or imports. 2000-02 is the compound annual rate of change.
* Figures for every year are as WTO published them on 2026-09-29; WTO revises past figures, so they can differ from the printed review.
