Delaware punches above its weight in US trade due to its status as a major corporate domicile and its chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturing base, with chemicals representing its largest export category. The Port of Wilmington is a specialized facility known for handling fresh fruit imports, automobiles, and bulk cargo. Delaware's favorable corporate legal environment attracts multinational companies that may record trade activity through the state.
Delaware's top exports include chemicals, pharmaceuticals, processed foods, and industrial machinery. The chemical and life sciences manufacturing sector is the primary driver of the state's export value.
The Port of Wilmington is one of the top fresh fruit handling ports in the US, importing bananas, citrus, and other perishables. It also handles automobiles, steel, and bulk commodities.
Because a large number of US and multinational corporations are legally incorporated in Delaware, some trade statistics may reflect corporate registrations rather than physical production or shipment activity originating in the state.
