Abstract

In recent years, global commercial service exports have experienced significant growth, reaching a record high of 7.69 trillion USD in 2023. This rise reflects the increasing importance of services in the global economy, particularly in sectors like finance, technology, tourism, and intellectual property. Historically, the U.S. has been a dominant player in service exports, leveraging its technological and financial sectors. Over time, emerging economies have also expanded their service exports, highlighting a shift towards a more service-driven global economy.

Global commercial service exports have seen remarkable growth since 1970, culminating in a record 7.69 trillion USD in 2023, representing the highest level to date. This surge reflects the expanding role of services in the world economy, driven by sectors such as finance, technology, and professional services. Over time, developed economies, particularly the U.S., led the way, but emerging markets have increasingly contributed to this growth. The rise of digital services, globalization, and the shift from manufacturing to services have been key factors in this trend, marking a transformative phase in international trade.
