Kuwait does not have a large volume of non-oil exports. Most of the country's exports are based on exports of oil and Fossil fuels. Most of Kuwait's exports go to countries such as India, the United Arab Emirates, Iraq, Pakistan, Oman, and China.

According to the latest global data, Kuwait exported $ 66 billion worth of goods to various countries in 2018, which is a jump of about 20% compared to the previous year.

This year, oil and fossil fuels account for about 92 percent of Kuwait's exports.
