In concentrate products, the country's share rose to 28.9%. Additionally, Chile accounted for 62.2% of global lithium carbonate exports, becoming a key supplier of critical minerals for the energy transition. Its leading positions in exports of iodine, roasted molybdenum, and nitrates further solidified the country's mining landscape.

Chile's Undersecretary of International Economic Relations, Paula Estévez, stated that the country's export basket enables it to compete in the world's most demanding markets, with products ranging from minerals supporting the energy transition to food supplies meeting the demands of the middle class in Asia, Europe, and the Americas.

Going forward, efforts will continue to expand and leverage the network of agreements, transforming advantages into more jobs and growth.
