Growing openness is a characteristic feature of the Pomorskie economy, and export is strengthening its position over the local demand in determining the production of the Pomorskie firms. The significance of export for the Pomorskie economy is reflected in the share of export in the total production sold by the voivodeship’s industry. The Pomorskie Voivodeship is the leader in Poland in this aspect, and the ratio exceeds the average national level. 

 

Ships and boats represent the largest cargo group exported from the Pomorskie Voivodeship. Their share in the 2006 exports was 29.8%. The ratio reflects the region’s high specialisation in foreign sales. The second line of export in terms of volume and share in total sales abroad comprises TV and radio sets, sound and picture recording and playing devices and their accessories (13.2%). These goods are classified as products of high technological intensity, which is of particular importance in the perspective of the voivodeship’s economic development. As concerns the significance of high-tech products in exports, Pomerania ranks among the all-country leaders. The voivodeship contributes 23% of the national export of high-tech goods. The third export group consists of oil refining products (9.9% of the exports).
