Colorado's trade profile is anchored by aerospace, defense, technology, and agricultural exports, with beef, wheat, and animal feed among its leading commodity exports. The state is landlocked, so trade moves primarily via air freight through Denver International Airport and overland by truck and rail. Colorado's growing aerospace and satellite technology sector has elevated its high-value export profile in recent years.
Colorado's top exports include aerospace products and parts, beef and animal products, wheat, industrial machinery, and medical instruments. The aerospace and defense sector is a leading contributor to high-value export totals.
Colorado's top export destinations include Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, Japan, and China, with aerospace and agricultural products driving trade flows to these markets.
Colorado relies on Denver International Airport for air freight, particularly for high-value aerospace and technology goods, and on an extensive highway and rail network for bulk agricultural and industrial shipments to coastal ports.
