Nevada state flagNicknamed the “Silver State” and “Sagebrush State” located in America’s Western, Mountain West and Southwestern regions, Nevada shipped US$12.7 billion worth of exported products around the world in 2025.
That dollar amount results from a 25.7% increase from $10.1 billion four years earlier during 2022.
Year over year, the overall value of Nevadan exports accelerated by 22.4% compared to $10.4 billion during 2024.
Nevada ranks as America’s 34th most lucrative exporter by state well behind front-runners including Texas, California, New York state, Louisiana, Illinois and Florida.
The value of Nevada’s exports equals 0.6% of the United States’ overall exported products for 2025 (US$2.178 trillion), up from 0.5% one year earlier.
Nevada’s exported products represent 4.5% of the state’s total economic output or nominal Gross Domestic Product in 2025 ($281.5 billion).
Given Nevada’s population of 3.27 million people, its total US$12.7 billion in 2025 exports translates to roughly $3,900 for every resident in the Silver State. That dollar metric exceeds the average $3,200 per capita one year earlier in 2024.
Nevada’s unemployment rate averaged 5.2% at the end of May 2025, same as the average 5.2% for the prior year per YCharts.
The following export products represent the highest dollar value in Nevada global shipments during 2025. Also shown is the percentage share each export category represents in terms of overall exports from Nevada.
