United States High-tech Exports
High-technology exports as % of manufactured exports TX.VAL.TECH.MF.ZS
United States's high-tech exports was 24.71% in 2025, ranked 25th globally. This represents a 1.6% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 2007–2025.
Overview
United States's high-tech exports stood at 24.71% in 2025, a rise of +0.39% from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 24.71% by 2025. United States ranked 25th globally.
The United States’ high‑tech export share fell from the all‑time peak of 29.90 % in 2007 to a trough of 18.48 % in 2018 before recovering to 24.71 % in 2025, placing the country 25th worldwide. This decline coincided with the global financial crisis and a relative slowdown in domestic R&D investment, while the modest rebound reflects renewed policy incentives for semiconductor manufacturing and cloud services. Compared with peers, the United States now trails China’s 24.33 % and remains slightly below Costa Rica’s 26.80 % but above the Netherlands’ 23.59 % in 2025. The 19‑year coverage shows a persistent downward bias, suggesting that without further acceleration of innovation ecosystems and export‑oriented trade agreements, the upward trajectory may stall, whereas sustained fiscal support could push the share back toward its early‑2000s peak.
