BAKU, Azerbaijan, August 13. Product exports from Iran's Free Trade-Industrial and Special Economic Zones grew by 6.3 percent during the first four months of the current Iranian year (from March 21 through July 22, 2025) compared to the same period last year (from March 20 through July 21, 2024).
The data obtained by Trend from the Supreme Council of Free Trade-Industrial and Special Economic Zones shows that in the reporting period, products worth $406 million were exported from Iran's free trade and special economic zones against $382 million.
The impetus behind the escalation in export metrics can be
attributed to the augmentation of production capabilities, the
enhancement of export logistics frameworks, strategic market
diversification initiatives, and the implementation of streamlined
trade facilitation measures.
Within a four-month timeframe, a substantial 61 percent of the
designated export metrics from the zones were actualized,
indicating that the Free Trade-Industrial and Special Economic
Zones possess the capacity to meet their annual export
objectives.
To note, there are 18 free trade zones and 48 special economic zones operating in Iran. It's planned to increase the number of special economic zones to 79.
The Iranian Customs Administration's data shows that Iran’s non-oil product exports during the four months amounted to $16.5 billion with a total weight of 48.8 million tons. Non-oil exports decreased by 5.51 percent in value and by 1.46 percent in weight compared to the same period last year.Конец формы
