U periodu 2007-2013. godina struktura zemalja uvoznica nije se bitnije promenila. Najveći deo uvoza Srbije dolazi iz Evrope. Pad ekonomske aktivnosti u Srbiji smanjio je tražnju za inostranom robom tako da je nakon krize značajno smanjen uvoz, što je uticalo na smanjenje trgovinskog deficita (sporiji rast uvoza od rasta izvoza).
U periodu 2007-2013. godina srpski uvoz beleži kontinuirani rast (naročito nakon krizne 2009. godine). Posmatrano prema geografskim zonama u posmatranom periodu preko 80% uvoza dolazi sa evropskog kontinenta. Ipak, udeo uvoza sa evropskog kontinenta se smanjuje, ali kontinuirano raste udeo uvoza iz zemalja EU, preko 60% u svim godinama (76,6% u 2013. godini). Oko 25% uvoza dolazi iz susednih zemalja, dok je uvoz iz bivših jugoslovenskih republika u opadanju (sa 14,2% i 11,6%). Pri tome, oko 50% uvoza iz zemalja van EU (ostatak Evrope) odnosi se na Rusiju. Inače, iz Rusije Srbija uvozi uglavnom energente i to u udelu između 11 i 16% ukupnog uvoza u posmatranim godinama. Pored energenata, Srbija uvozi reprodukcioni materijal (namenjen za proizvodnju i izvoz). Na smanjenje uvoza delom je uticala i depresijacija dinara, ali i smanjenje realnih zarada.
U posmatranom periodu nije se značajnije promenila struktura uvoza po geogradskim zonama. Udeo uvoza na evropska tržišta smanjen je sa 83,2% iz 2007. godine na 80,7% u 2013. godini, dok je povećan sa azijskog kontinenta sa 12,7% na 16% u posmatranim godinama. Ostala tržišta beleže smanjenje udela u uvozu: udeo sa američkog tržišta smanjen je sa 3,5% na 2,6%, dok je sa afričkog i pacifičkog tržišta, ionako mali po obimu i vrednosti, dodatno smanjen.
Napomena: EU = EU-27 (2013. EU-28); Susedi: Mađarska, Rumunija, Bugarska, Hrvatska (prvo polugodište), Bosna i Hercegovina, Crna Gora i Republika Makedonija; Bivše YU republike: Slovenija, Hrvatska, Bosna i Hercegovina, Crna Gora i Republika Makedonija.
During the period 2007–2013, the structure of Serbia’s importing countries did not change significantly. The largest share of Serbia’s imports originates from Europe. The decline in economic activity in Serbia reduced demand for foreign goods, so that after the global crisis imports decreased markedly, contributing to a reduction in the trade deficit (imports grew more slowly than exports).
In the period 2007–2013, Serbian imports recorded continuous growth, particularly after the crisis year of 2009. When observed by geographical zones, more than 80% of imports during the period originated from the European continent. Nevertheless, while the share of imports from Europe as a whole declined, the share of imports from EU countries increased continuously, exceeding 60% in all years (76.6% in 2013). Approximately 25% of imports came from neighboring countries, while imports from the former Yugoslav republics declined (from 14.2% to 11.6%). At the same time, around 50% of imports from non-EU European countries (the rest of Europe) were related to Russia. Imports from Russia mainly consisted of energy products, accounting for between 11% and 16% of total imports in the observed years. In addition to energy products, Serbia imports intermediate inputs intended for production and export. The reduction in imports was partly influenced by the depreciation of the dinar, as well as by declining real wages.
During the observed period, the geographical structure of imports did not change substantially. The share of imports from European markets declined from 83.2% in 2007 to 80.7% in 2013, while the share from the Asian continent increased from 12.7% to 16%. Other markets recorded a decline in their share of imports: the share from the American market decreased from 3.5% to 2.6%, while imports from African and Pacific markets, already small in volume and value, declined further.
Note: EU = EU-27 (EU-28 as of 2013); Neighbors: Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia (first half of the year), Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, and the Republic of North Macedonia; Former Yugoslav republics: Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, and the Republic of North Macedonia.
