The line graph shows the percentages of Australian exports with four countries. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant.
The line graph illustrates the percentages of Australian exports to four countries (Japan, China, the US, and India) between 1990 and 2012.
Overall, China saw the most significant growth in exports, becoming the leading market for Australian exports by the end of the period. Japan remained stable after a first rise, while the US gradually declined, and India showed modest growth over the years.
In 1990, exports to Japan were the highest at around 12%, followed by the US and China at roughly 6%, and India at just under 5%. By 1995, Japan’s exports rose to 17%, while the other three countries saw little change, with the US at 6%, China at 7%, and India steady at 5%.
China’s exports rose dramatically by 2010, reaching 25%, overtaking Japan, which stood at 20%. During the same period, the US decreased to 11%, and India slightly increased to 7%. By 2012, China peaked at 28%, Japan leveled off at 19%, the US fell further to 10%, and India climbed to 9%.
