Specialization is measured using RCA, an index that takes the ratio between Iceland observed and expected exports in each product.
Most Complex Products by PCI
The highest complexity exports of Iceland according to the product complexity index (PCI) are X-ray, alpha, beta, gamma radiation apparatus; x-ray tubes, x-ray generators, high tension... (1.61), Machinery and apparatus for soldering, brazing, welding, whether or not capable of... (1.17), Lifting, handling, loading or unloading machinery; n.e.c. in heading no. 8425, 8426...

Relatedness measures the distance between a product, and all of the products a country currently specializes in.
Relatedness Space
This network shows the products most related to the production structure of Iceland. These are products that tend to be co-exported with the products that Iceland exports. Higher relatedness values indicate greater knowledge, which predicts a greater probability of exporting that product in the future.
