본 논문에서는 DDA 환경상품 무역자유화 협상에 대비하여 세계 주요국과 우리나라의 환경산업 제품에 대한 무역구조를 분석하였다. OECD에서 제안한 161종의 환경상품 리스트를 기반으로 2002년부터 2011년까지 10년간 전 세계 환경상품의 무역 통계를 조사하였다. 환경산업의 세계 무역규모는 2002년 4,639억 달러에서 2011년 1조4,778억 달러로 3배 이상 증가하였다. 우리나라의 2011년 환경상품의 세계시장 점유율은 3.2%이며, 무역특화지수는 -0.128, 현시비교우위지수는 1.002이며 세계시장에서 일본과 수출경합도가 가장 높은 것으로 나타났다. 본 논문에서 우리나라의 환경상품의 국제경쟁력은 무역규모에 비해 국제경쟁력이 상대적으로 약한 것으로 조사되었다. 따라서 향후 지속될 DDA 환경상품 자유화 협상에서 우리나라는 환경상품의 유예기간 설정 등 단계별 무역자유화 추진과 국내 산업의 경쟁력 향상을 위해 노력해야 할 것이다.
