Ohio is a leading manufacturing and export state, with transportation equipment, industrial machinery, chemicals, and plastics representing its core export categories. The state's central location and extensive highway and rail network make it a critical node in North American supply chains, particularly for the automotive sector. Ohio's trade is closely tied to Canada and Mexico through USMCA supply chains, with significant bilateral flows across all three countries.
Ohio's top export sectors are transportation equipment including motor vehicles and parts, industrial machinery, chemicals, plastics and rubber, and fabricated metal products, reflecting the state's deep manufacturing base.
Transportation equipment is consistently Ohio's largest export category, and the state hosts major auto assembly and parts manufacturing operations, making it highly integrated into the USMCA automotive supply chain with Canada and Mexico.
Ohio has Great Lakes ports at Cleveland, Toledo, and Lorain that handle bulk commodities such as iron ore, coal, and grain, while most containerized cargo moves overland to East Coast, Gulf, or Canadian ports.
