Recent Trends in U.S. Services Trade: 2025 Annual Report
Investigation no. 332-605
Publication 5643 (July 2025)

Welcome to the homepage for Recent Trends in U.S. Services Trade: 2025 Annual Report, published by the U.S. International Trade Commission (Commission). Recent Trends is the Commission’s annual report on U.S. services trade. This year, the report covers professional services. It presents an overview of U.S. trade in services and discusses market conditions; the industry outlook; and emerging market trends for the accounting and audit, advertising, architectural and engineering, education, legal, management consulting, and research and development industries.

These trends fall into two major categories of supply and demand. First, skills gaps, job openings, and the introduction of new artificial intelligence technologies are affecting the supply of professional services. Second, changing demographics (including aging and income growth), digitalization, and reorganizing supply chains in the wake of the global COVID-19 pandemic are affecting the demand for professional services.

The report is accompanied by interactive figures and tables that display U.S. services trade with the United States’ largest country trade partners and the European Union as well as trade in six individual services categories. These figures and tables show cross-border trade in services, which occurs when suppliers in one country sell services to consumers in another country. Links to the interactive figures can be accessed below. This information is also presented in a downloadable companion datafile.
