North Macedonia’s high‑tech export share of total goods rose from 0.90 in 2007 to an all‑time peak of 6.43 in 2025, positioning the country at 84th globally. This twenty‑fold increase over 19 years reflects a gradual deepening of the nation’s technology‑intensive production base, driven by targeted incentives for research and development and expanding integration with European supply chains. The 2025 figure of 6.43 places Macedonia just below Portugal’s 6.70 and Ukraine’s 6.80, while edging ahead of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s 6.08, suggesting that the country is closing the gap with more advanced exporters in the region. The upward trajectory coincides with broader Balkan efforts to diversify away from traditional manufacturing toward digital services and advanced electronics. Continued progress will likely depend on sustaining investment in skilled labour, improving digital infrastructure, and strengthening cross‑border trade agreements, factors that could further accelerate the share of high‑tech exports in the coming decade.
