Digitally-Deliverable Services Exports

15 years, 2010–2024 · 170 countries · 2 measures

Digitally-deliverable services are the services that can be sold across a border over a network — finance and insurance, software and IT, licensing of intellectual property, research, consulting, engineering and audiovisual work. This is their share of everything a country earns from exporting services: a read on how far its services trade has moved beyond tourism and transport.

This site holds every year from 2010 to 2024, read from UNCTAD’s own data and stored exactly as published.
