ICT goods exports (% of total goods exports)Higher is better — rank 1 leadsPublished by UN Trade and Development (UNCTAD)
We hold 25 editions of this indicator, from 2000 to 2024 — 3,942 rows in total, and 120 countries in the newest.
25 reference years (2000–2024), covering 120 to 171 countries, from UNCTADstat via the World Bank’s indicator API (TX.VAL.ICTG.ZS.UN). Computers, telecoms equipment, electronic components and their parts as a share of everything a country sells abroad — a rough measure of how technologically sophisticated its export basket is. ⚠ IT IS A SHARE OF GOODS EXPORTS ONLY, so a country that exports mostly services can read low while running a large technology sector: Ireland and India are the obvious cases. ⚠ It also rewards assembly as much as invention — a country that screws together imported components scores like one that designed them. ⚠ These are not 25 published reports — see `restatedByReport`. ⚠ No rank is published. A POSITION is derived here (2026-09-10) by ordering the export share. ⚠ THE BOTTOM OF THE TABLE TIES: shares are published to two decimals, so countries exporting almost no ICT goods land on the same value — four sit at 0.05% and share position 105 in 2024, and earlier editions tie ten deep. The top separates cleanly; the bottom is a floor.
The year a report is NAMED for and the year its numbers DESCRIBE are different facts, and they disagree constantly — so both are listed. Every row opens the full country table for that edition, sortable by any column.
