Leather and garment producers accounted for $823 million. Food, agricultural and livestock industries contributed $50 million, while pharmaceutical industries and medical supplies exceeded $26.6 million. Chemical industries and cosmetics were above $21 million; plastics and rubber exceeded $6.5 million; and engineering, electrical and information technology industries were above $2.7 million.

That points to a strongly concentrated export profile in Irbid. Concentration can support scale, specialized skills and established buyer relationships, but it can also leave regional export receipts more exposed to shifts in demand or trade conditions affecting the largest industry. The source gives no employment count, number of firms, wage data, value-added estimate or information on how much of the sales came from new orders.

The Netherlands followed at $37.6 million, Germany at $32.8 million, Saudi Arabia at $23.5 million and Canada at $21.6 million. The chamber’s figures show a large US market alongside smaller European, Gulf and Canadian channels. They are statements by the chamber chairman relayed by Petra; this review did not independently reconcile destination values with customs data. The reported concentration is therefore useful as an account of the chamber’s export records, but should not be treated as a separately verified national trade table.","Industrial estates also account for most of the reported total. Al-Hassan Industrial Estate contributed $898 million, Cyber City more than $29.8 million and the chamber’s headquarters more than $6.3 million. This distribution indicates that recorded exports cluster around a small number of industrial locations. It does not establish capacity utilization, output growth or the share of local inputs.

Origin certificates provide a record connected to foreign sales; on their own, they do not measure production volume, company revenue or exporter-level earnings. A fuller assessment would require consistent later-period breakdowns plus company counts, new exporter data, domestic value-added measures and comparison with customs statistics.
