Kazakhstan High-tech Exports
High-technology exports as % of manufactured exports TX.VAL.TECH.MF.ZS
Kazakhstan's high-tech exports was 41.05% in 2025, ranked 12th globally. This represents a 2.7% decrease from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 2009–2025.
Overview
Kazakhstan's high-tech exports stood at 41.05% in 2025, a decline of +1.15% from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 41.05% by 2025. Kazakhstan ranked 12th globally.
Kazakhstan’s high‑tech exports have risen modestly since the World Bank’s earliest record in 2009, when they stood at 31.68, to a 2025 level of 41.05, placing the country twelfth worldwide. The upward trajectory was interrupted by a sharp decline to an all‑time trough of 23.57 in 2018, a dip that coincided with reduced investment in research and development and a slowdown in the domestic manufacturing sector. Recovery accelerated after 2018, culminating in an all‑time peak of 43.43 in 2015, before settling at the current figure, which remains above the 2019‑2022 average but below the 2015 high. Compared with peers of similar rank, Kazakhstan’s performance exceeds Israel’s 38.84 and approaches Viet Nam’s 45.57, suggesting competitive positioning among emerging high‑tech exporters. Continued diversification of the export basket and sustained fiscal support for innovation are likely to determine whether the post‑trough recovery can be translated into a new upward trend in the coming years.
