In 2024, U.S. digital exports reached $741 billion, covering 15% of the global total.
While these exports include Meta and Google’s multi-billion dollar ad businesses, they also cover online education, financial activity, and a wide spectrum of services delivered without in-person human interaction.
With $488 billion in exports, the UK stands as another global leader in digital sales. Today, roughly 3.2 million jobs in the country are linked to digital exports, driven by its tech and financial services industries.
As we can see, Ireland ranks third with $425 billion in digitally-delivered exports. Additionally, exports expanded 24% in 2024, the fastest rate across the biggest export nations. In particular, Ireland’s role as a European hub for major tech firms means many regional digital sales are attributed to the country, boosting its role in the global digital economy.
