After hovering around 25% during the 1990′s, the percentage of foreign sales of companies in the S&P 500 increased steadily during the 2000′s to about 30%. I have to imagine that this trend will likely continue with sales forecasts for the domestic US market less than rosy these days.

Buy American, but sell to anyone I guess.

Thanks to JP Morgan Asset Management for the chart.

Foreign sales as a percentage of total sales is calculated as an unweighted average of individual S&P 500 companies' reported sales figures and does not capture all index members due to differences in reporting practices.
Data are as of 9/30/11.
