Overview
French Polynesia's high-tech exports stood at -2.45% in 2025, a decline of +4.38% from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach -2.45% by 2025. French Polynesia ranked 163rd globally.
French Polynesia’s high‑tech export performance has deteriorated sharply, moving from a modest positive value of 9.26 in 2009 to a negative figure of –2.45 in 2025, which places the territory at rank 163 globally. The sector reached its all‑time peak of 30.82 in 2019 before sliding into the current trough, indicating a rapid reversal within a six‑year span. This decline is comparable to the recent downturn observed in Lao PDR, which recorded –2.41, and contrasts with the less severe deficits of Bahrain (–3.62) and Papua New Guinea (–1.41). Over the 17‑year coverage period, the negative swing suggests weakening competitiveness in high‑technology goods, possibly driven by limited R&D capacity, small domestic market size and reliance on imported inputs. If policy measures enhance innovation ecosystems, invest in skilled labour and improve connectivity with global value chains, the negative trajectory could be halted and a modest recovery may emerge in the coming years.
