High-technology exports as % of manufactured exports TX.VAL.TECH.MF.ZS
Oman's high-tech exports was 8.30% in 2025, ranked 78th globally. This represents a 65.8% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 2012–2025.
Overview
Oman's high-tech exports stood at 8.30% in 2025, a rise of +3.29% from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 8.30% by 2025. Oman ranked 78th globally.
Oman's high‑tech exports have risen sharply from 3.39 in 2012 to 8.30 in 2025, placing the country at 78th in the world rankings. The upward trajectory accelerated after a pronounced trough of 1.12 in 2017, a low point that coincided with broader regional declines in manufacturing investment. A decisive rebound followed, culminating in an all‑time peak of 8.50 in 2020, the year when Oman intensified its diversification agenda under Vision 2040 and attracted foreign technology firms to free‑zone clusters. By comparison, peers such as Slovenia (8.75) and Colombia (8.41) maintain slightly higher export shares, reflecting more entrenched innovation ecosystems, while Tunisia (7.79) lags behind Oman’s current level. The 13‑year series suggests that sustained policy support for research and development, coupled with improved logistics infrastructure, will be crucial to preserve the post‑2020 momentum and push Oman’s high‑tech export share higher in the coming years.
