High-technology exports as % of manufactured exports TX.VAL.TECH.MF.ZS
Dominican Republic's high-tech exports was 6.03% in 2025, ranked 87th globally. This represents a 21.6% decrease from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 2007–2025.
Overview
Dominican Republic's high-tech exports stood at 6.03% in 2025, a decline of +1.66% from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 6.03% by 2025. Dominican Republic ranked 87th globally.
Dominican Republic’s high‑tech exports have fallen sharply since the 2007 peak of 13.66 percent of total exports, slipping to a trough of 2.35 percent in 2010 and registering 6.03 percent in 2025, which places the country 87th globally. The decline after 2007 reflects a contraction in the country’s technology‑intensive production base, while the modest recovery to just above six percent suggests limited re‑orientation toward higher‑value sectors. Compared with peers of similar rank, such as Timor‑Leste at 6.07 percent and Niger at 6.02 percent in the same year, the Dominican Republic remains marginally above the regional average but well below the levels of more diversified economies. The 19‑year coverage shows a persistent downward bias, indicating structural constraints in innovation capacity and limited integration into global high‑tech value chains. Strengthening research and development incentives, improving digital infrastructure, and expanding skilled labour could reverse the trajectory and lift the share of high‑tech exports in the coming years.
