Iran's export struggle The Iranian economy was not spared from the global economic crisis in 2009, but Iranian exports seemed to recover from the global economic recession in 2011 at first. However, export figures dropped thereafter because of sanctions imposed by the United States and the European Union (EU) due to supposed Iran nuclear activities. This new round of sanctions spurred negative growth in 2012 and 2013 and growth dropped during the same period by around 200 billion U.S. dollars. While Iran has one of the largest oil reserves globally, daily oil production has decreased significantly since the first sanctions from the United States were put in place back in 1978. Because of a history of sanctions from Europe and the United States, neither region is among Iran’s most important export partners. While Iran had been hoping to emerge from sanctions this year, hoping to overcome international isolation and recovering lost revenue, recent tensions between Saudi Arabia and Iran may cripple their progress. Saudi Arabia would prefer the sanctions against Iran remain, since relations between the two countries have gotten worse. Additionally, where Saudi Arabia is a stronger ally to the west concerning Syria, Iran leans the other way. This situation could leave Iran once again struggling to overcome its isolation from the west.

This statistic shows Iran's main import partners in 2023, sorted by their share in total imports. In 2023, Iran's main import partner was the China with a share of 34 percent in all imports. Iran's struggling economy Iran’s main import partners in descending order of importance include the United Arab Emirates, China, Algeria, India, South Korea and Turkey. Together the United Arab Emirates and China compose over 50 percent of all imports. No European countries or the United States are close trade partners with Iran for neither imports nor exports. Iran has been isolated from the west with sanctions due to concerns over the country's role in the manufacture of weapons of mass destruction for decades. In 2011, further sanctions on Iran from the United States and Europe were agreed upon, which negatively affected Iran’s economy. This also had an effect on the value of totalimports into the country which also dropped slightly around the same period. This is likely due to the fact that Iran’s GDP per capita also reduced significantly thereafter, limiting the country’s capacity to import goods. Compared to the GDP per capita of Saudi Arabia, Iran’s is significantly lower. Aside from the Saudi Arabian oil trade, one difference could be attributed to the fact that Saudi Arabia, in contrast to Iran, has developed strong international ties and trades freely with Europe and the United States, whereas Iran remains isolated for the time being.

The size of the Iran Oil and Gas Industry market was valued at USD XX Million in 2023 and is projected to reach USD XXX Million by 2032, with an expected CAGR of 3.40">> 3.40% during the forecast period. The oil and gas industry is a pillar in the economy of this country, providing the most significant part of revenue for the government as well as export earnings. Iran boasts the largest proven crude oil and natural gas reserves worldwide, thus putting the country in a good position to become an important player in global energy markets. The sectors of the industry are upstream, midstream, and downstream. The upstream consists of exploration and production, while midstream involves transportation and storage. But there are numerous challenges in this sector: old facilities, inefficiencies, and sanctions on international frontiers that restricted foreign investment as well as technology transfers. Iran takes a way through these issues by looking to breathe some life into its oil and gas sector. The administration aims to raise production capacities while refining technology toward both domestic consumption and export demands. The country is also involved in strategic partnerships with neighboring states and selected international firms that can enhance its oil and gas capabilities. The upward trend in global energy demand, especially in Asia, opens up the opportunity for Iran's reentry into the market. While such external influences are affecting the Iranian oil and gas sector, it has considerable assets and opportunities that may possibly aid growth and reintegrate this country into the world energy scenario. Recent developments include: In January 2022, the Lavan Refinery, in the south of Iran, announced the construction of a 150,000-barrel petro-refinery next to the Lavan Refinery and its efforts to increase the refinery's production by one million liters per day., In November 2021, Iran planned to invest USD 11 billion to raise gas production capacity by 240 million cubic meters/day in its offshore fields. Out of the total investment, USD 4 billion would be spent to develop the North Pars field, while others would be used to develop the offshore Kish gas field, Phase 11 of the South Pars field, and the onshore fields of the Iranian Central Oil Fields Company.. Key drivers for this market are: 4., Abundant Oil and Gas Reserves4.; Favorable Investment in Upstream Sector. Potential restraints include: 4., Volatility of Crude Oil Prices. Notable trends are: Upstream Segment to Dominate the Market.

Iran’s gross domestic product (GDP) inclined by 3.33 percent in 2020 after adjusting for inflation. This figure fell from 13.4 percent growth four years ago, which had been a reaction to sanctions lifting after the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JPCOA) regarding Iran’s nuclear program. United States president Donald Trump ended that country’s participation in the deal, imposing new sanctions.

Political influence on the economy

Political tensions have hampered the economy of Iran, keeping growth low in spite of the country’s considerable oil reserves. The effect of these sanctions becomes obvious when looking at Iran’s oil exports to Europe over the past decade. Some analysts have blamed the new sanctions for the increase in Iran’s inflation rate, as well as the currency depreciation that has accompanied it.

Iran’s options

Although Iran’s main export partners are largely in Asia, many of the transactions are carried out using U.S. dollars. Even though other means of payment are possible, some countries worry about political ramifications of continuing trade relations with Iran. Iran’s greatest strength at the moment may be its low national debt, meaning that it can borrow a substantial amount of money if it can find a willing lender. However, given the instability of the political situation worldwide and regionally, it is difficult to assume that such a borrower exists at the moment.
