Abstract
Global service imports have steadily increased over the past decades, reflecting the growing importance of services in the world economy. From 2000 to 2020, service trade expanded as digitalization, globalization, and technological advances spurred demand for financial, professional, and digital services. The rise in global service imports, reaching 7.21 TUSD in 2023, highlights a shift towards a more services-driven economy, with significant contributions from sectors like IT, finance, tourism, and transport. Economic integration and outsourcing further accelerated these trends.
