New UNCTAD data recently showed that services now account for most of the world’s $2.5 trillion ocean-related trade, overtaking goods and opening new opportunities for developing countries to create value from the ocean while protecting it.
Trade in ocean-related services reached $1.44 trillion in 2025, representing 58 percent of total ocean trade, up from 47 percent in 2020. The shift is being driven mainly by marine and coastal tourism, maritime freight transport and port services, according to figures released on World Oceans Day.
UNCTAD also revealed that marine and coastal tourism remained the largest ocean service export in 2025, reaching $785 billion, more than half of the total ocean services trade. Maritime freight transport followed, at $487 billion.

Businesses in several Caribbean countries are expected to benefit from improved access to trade financing following the signing of a new US$25 million guarantee agreement between IDB Invest and the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB).
Announced during Sustainability Week 2026 in Barbados, the arrangement is intended to help address one of the region’s longstanding challenges: securing sufficient financing for international trade transactions. A CDB release said the facility will support the movement of goods and services while encouraging private-sector growth in smaller Caribbean economies.
Under the agreement, CDB says it will provide partial guarantees for transactions conducted through IDB Invest’s Trade Finance Facilitation Program (TFFP). The mechanism is designed to share risk between the two institutions while allowing capital to be deployed more efficiently, ultimately increasing the volume of trade financing available to participating financial institutions.
