Overview
Montenegro's high-tech exports stood at 13.22% in 2025, a decline of +1.24% from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 13.22% by 2025. Montenegro ranked 58th globally.
Montenegro’s high‑tech exports have shown considerable volatility since the World Bank began tracking the indicator in 2008, rising from 9.03 in that inaugural year to a dramatic peak of 23.57 in 2009 before falling to an all‑time trough of 3.15 in 2018. The latest 2025 figure of 13.22 places Montenegro at rank 58 globally, a level comparable to peers such as Bulgaria (13.24) and Tajikistan (13.03). The post‑2009 decline reflects the broader slowdown in regional technology manufacturing and limited domestic R&D capacity, while the modest recovery after 2018 suggests incremental gains from recent policy incentives aimed at attracting foreign tech firms. Over the 18‑year coverage period, the average export share remains well below the European Union average, indicating structural constraints. Continued investment in digital infrastructure and stronger integration into regional supply chains could sustain the upward trajectory and narrow the gap with higher‑ranking neighbours.
