Overview
- Goods imports reached US$70.235 billion in January–November, up 27% year over year and 3.1% above the 2017 peak.
- The import mix shifted toward final products, with vehicles up 109% in value, consumer goods up 58.3%, and capital goods up 55.6%.
- Imported vehicle units rose about 120% through November to the highest level since 2018, according to Adefa.
- Door-to-door courier shipments totaled roughly US$789 million in 2025 and rose 291.8% year over year in November, about 1.1% of total imports and 7.5% of consumer-goods imports.
- Analysts frame the rebound as a post-restriction normalization and flag the need to align rising imports with export growth and productivity as Argentina remains less trade-open than regional peers.
