| Value | Year | |
|---|---|---|
| Latest | 79.77% | 2025 |
| Five years earlier | 84.36% | 2020 |
| Ten years earlier | 52.59% | 2015 |
| Highest | 97.79% | 1995 |
| Lowest | 49.04% | 2012 |
| Average since 2016 | 72.31% | 2016–2025 |
| First recorded | 66.73% | 1965 |
Over five years it is down 4.59 percentage points from 84.36% in 2020. Since 1965 it is up 13.04 percentage points from 66.73% in 1965. The World Bank has no value for 2 of the years in between; the chart leaves those gaps open rather than joining across them.
In 2025, Malta's manufactures exports (% of merchandise exports) rose 3.37 percentage points on 2024 (from 76.4% to 79.77%).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was −0.71 percentage points and a typical year strayed about 8.01 percentage points from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.5 standard deviations above that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 22.87 percentage points in 2020 and the biggest yearly fall was 24.3 percentage points in 2010. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2016 to 2025 the straight-line trend is upward, about 2.78 percentage points a year. A straight line explains 55% of the movement over 10 observed years.
Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.
In 2025, Malta had the 19th highest value of the 103 economies reporting that year. Higher is not always better: for some indicators the lowest value is the one to aim for. See the full ranking.

Limitations: Previous editions contained data based on the SITC revision 1. Data for earlier years in previous editions may differ because of the change in methodology. Concordance tables are available to convert data reported in one system to another.
