High-technology exports as % of manufactured exports TX.VAL.TECH.MF.ZS
Mozambique's high-tech exports was 4.41% in 2025, ranked 103rd globally. This represents a 21.6% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 2012–2025.
Overview
Mozambique's high-tech exports stood at 4.41% in 2025, a rise of +0.78% from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 4.41% by 2025. Mozambique ranked 103rd globally.
Mozambique’s high‑tech exports have contracted sharply since the 2012 peak of 24.74, falling to a trough of 0.84 in 2020 before a modest rebound to 4.41 in 2025, placing the country 103rd in the world. The 14‑year series shows a long‑term downward trajectory, with the 2025 figure barely above the levels recorded by peers such as Myanmar (4.38) and The Gambia (4.14). The decline reflects limited domestic R&D capacity, inadequate infrastructure, and a narrow industrial base that struggles to produce goods classified as high‑tech under World Bank definitions. Although the recent uptick suggests some diversification, the gap with regional comparators like Côte d’Ivoire (4.69) remains sizable. Continued investment in technology parks, skill development and export‑oriented manufacturing would be required to sustain any further improvement and reverse the prevailing downward trend.
