Overview
New Caledonia's high-tech exports stood at 5.27% in 2015, a decline of +7.89% from 2014. New Caledonia ranked 89th globally.
New Caledonia’s high‑tech exports rose sharply from a trough of 0.66 in 2008 to an all‑time peak of 15.45 in 2011, before settling at 5.27 in 2015, a level that placed the territory 89th in the world. The rapid expansion during the early 2010s reflects a brief but notable diversification away from traditional mineral and agricultural shipments, yet the 2015 figure matches the current export performance of the Central African Republic (5.27) and is only marginally above Peru’s 5.24. Over the eight‑year coverage period, the average export value remained modest compared with peers such as the United Arab Emirates (5.30) and Portugal (5.08), underscoring the limited scale of New Caledonia’s high‑tech sector. The post‑peak decline suggests that sustaining the 2011 surge will require deeper investment in research and development, stronger integration into global value chains, and policies that encourage technology‑intensive firms to locate on the islands, otherwise the upward trajectory is likely to remain intermittent.
