Percent change:-3.17% (vs. £117m in 2019) Scotch exports to Australia have been growing steadily for several years now, but 2020 marks the first year that the market has made it into the top 10 most valuable markets, signalling its growing importance going forward. Scotch exports to Australia totalled £113m in 2020, which although a 3.17% drop on 2019’s total, was still enough to edge into the top 10 with Mexico and India both dropping out to make way. That success is likely to continue should the UK’s negotiations for a free trade deal with Australia prove successful. Talks for a deal began in June 2020, with the next phase of discussions set to take place in February 2021. Assuming an agreement is reached, trade relations with Australia and the outlook for Scotch can only get brighter.
