High-technology exports as % of manufactured exports TX.VAL.TECH.MF.ZS
Belize's high-tech exports was -0.39% in 2025, ranked 157th globally. This represents a 206,445.0% decrease from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 2010–2025.
Overview
Belize's high-tech exports stood at -0.39% in 2025, a decline of +0.39% from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach -0.39% by 2025. Belize ranked 157th globally.
Belize’s high‑tech export performance has deteriorated sharply, slipping to a negative share of –0.39 in 2025, which places the country 157th in the World Bank ranking and marks the all‑time trough after a brief surge to 0.94 in 2020. The indicator, measured as the proportion of total exports accounted for by high‑technology products, registered a zero value in the earliest year of the series, 2010, before reaching its peak during the pandemic‑era boom of 2020. Since then, the share has contracted each year, falling below the modest positive level recorded by Bhutan (–0.03) and well above the deeper deficit experienced by Fiji (–0.86). The decline suggests that Belize’s export structure remains heavily weighted toward primary commodities, with limited capacity to develop or retain high‑tech manufacturing and services. Strengthening research and development, improving digital infrastructure, and fostering linkages with regional innovation hubs could reverse the downward trajectory and restore modest growth in high‑tech exports.
