More than 73% of Australia's trade is with fellow APEC economies.

In 2024-2025, trade in goods and services between Australia and its Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) partners reached 933.2 billion Australian dollars (about $655.48 billion), according to Australia's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.

A founding APEC member since 1989, Australia remains closely tied to the region through trade and investment.
