Although the sectorial breakdown of intra-OIC exports is similar to that of total OIC exports
which is dominated by mineral fuels, its share is not as high as in total OIC exports (Figure 30).
Of the total intra-OIC exports, share of mineral fuels, oils and related products was 14.2 per cent,
followed by pearls, precious stones15 (12.5 per cent), electrical machinery (8.2 per cent), and
machinery and nuclear reactors with 5.8 per cent.
Figure 30: Evolution of the shares of sectors in Intra-exports
Source: ITC Trade map Note: Top ten sectors by 2017 were included.
Figure 31 illustrates the contribution of sectors to the change in intra-OIC exports. In 2017 intra
OIC exports increased in most sectors but the increase in the intra exports of electrical
machinery, natural or cultured pearls, precious stone, machinery andmechanical appliances and
tobacco as whole accounted for 67.2 per cent of the increase in intra-OIC exports. Contribution
of mineral fuels to the change in intra exports varies mainly depending on the oil prices. Intra-
exports of sectors such as pearls and precious stones and electrical machinery have gained
importance in recent years.
