According to Statistics Estonia, the trade volume between Estonia and Austria has ranged between €150 and €200 million annually in recent years. Although modest in comparison to total trade, the relationship shows steady growth. Estonia’s key exports to Austria include:

• Wood and timber products

• Electrical and mechanical equipment

• Chemical and plastic goods

Austria’s main exports to Estonia consist of:

• Machinery and mechanical components

• Metal industry goods

• Pharmaceuticals and precision instruments

Logistically, shipments between Estonia and Austria tend to move through Germany or Poland by road. This presents an opportunity: streamlined supply chains and more regular LTL and FTL transport routes—especially via the Czech Republic or Slovakia—could reduce transit times and costs, strengthening trade cooperation.

Austria is one of Europe’s frontrunners in renewable energy, ecological building, and sustainable manufacturing. Estonia, on the other hand, can supply both innovative green tech and high-quality raw materials such as CLT (cross-laminated timber), which is highly valued in Austria’s construction sector. Estonian exporters may also benefit from Austria’s advanced industrial components to enhance local production.

Though the trade volume between Estonia and Austria remains modest, the true value lies in quality and strategic segments. Companies that can navigate logistics effectively and focus on high value-added goods may find Austria to be a reliable and receptive trading partner.
