Global Value Chains

Global value chain statistics offer better understanding of supply chains that link other countries with the United States to produce goods or services. They show the mix of domestic and foreign value in production chains.

In May 2026, BEA significantly expanded its global value chain statistics—also called statistics on trade in value added, or TiVA—to cover goods and services sold to U.S. consumers, businesses, and governments, and those that become U.S. exports.

An accompanying data tool, the Global Value Chain Analyzer, lets users create custom tables to dig into the data. The data can be filtered by the value of domestic production; imported intermediate products used in domestic production; or imported final products.

Global value chain statistics help answer questions such as:
• What are the domestic and imported inputs used in a U.S. industry’s production?
• How does a U.S. industry contribute to global value chains?
• How much of an imported commodity is used in U.S. production versus sold as final products in the United States?
