Abstract

This paper presents a comprehensive dataset on the global trade dynamics of COVID-19-related medical products for the years 2019 and 2020. The dataset, derived from the BACI database, focuses on eight distinct product categories identified by six-digit codes. The trade flow data for 224 countries is structured as a multilevel network, with countries as nodes and product categories as layers. Directed edges represent trading activities, and edge weights are determined by the difference in exported values between 2019 and 2020. The dataset is provided in an edges-and-nodes format. Additionally, the associated R script transforms the data into the MuxViz R package format, facilitating further analysis and visualization of the dataset. The dataset is valuable for researchers in the field of foreign trade or medical products, and for decision-makers in these fields, whether at company or national level.
