Hong Kong’s export sector posted a robust acceleration in April 2026, with exports rising 42.9% month-over-month, up from an already strong 35.8% increase in March 2026. The latest figures, updated on 28 May 2026, underscore a powerful rebound in the city’s external trade as momentum builds across consecutive months.

The April reading marks a notable step-up in growth compared with March, when exports had already staged a substantial month-on-month gain versus the prior period. According to the comparison methodology, the current figure reflects the change in exports in April relative to March, while the previous indicator measured March’s growth against February.

The sustained and accelerating expansion suggests that Hong Kong’s exporters are benefiting from continued demand improvement in key markets. With back-to-back double-digit month-on-month increases, April’s performance reinforces the view that the territory’s trade engine is firmly in recovery mode as the second quarter of 2026 gets under way.
