DHL has released the results of its 2015 DHL Export Barometer suggesting that Australian retailers could take advantage of our weakening dollar.

According to the report, 53 per cent of exporters saw increased orders in the past year and 66 per cent of Australian exporters expect orders to increase over the coming year.

In addition, the Barometer recorded its highest level of exporter confidence following the global financial crisis (GFC).

If retailers are to cash in on the opportunity, who are our biggest exporters?

The report indicates that North America is swiftly catching up to New Zealand for the top export destination at 53 per cent compared to 57 per cent.

The Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) seems to be gaining popularity with findings suggesting that 46 per cent of exporters confident that they can benefit from the deal, an increase of 9 per cent from 2014.

Finally the report found that the number of Australian exporters also importing goods is growing at 80 per cent.

597 Australian exporters participated in the survery.

The full report is now accessible through DHL.
