Over five years it is up 80.07% from US$3.22 billion in 2020 (12.48% a year on average, compounded). Since 1992 it is up 2,429% from US$229.46 million in 1992 (10.28% a year on average, compounded). The World Bank has no value for 5 of the years in between; the chart leaves those gaps open rather than joining across them.
What the numbers say
In 2025, Norway's ICT service exports (BoP, current US$) rose 20.5% on 2024 (from US$4.82 billion to US$5.8 billion).
Across the 26 yearly changes before that (1993 to 2024), the average change was +15.1% and a typical year strayed about 24.5% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.2 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 85.9% in 1998 and the biggest yearly fall was 32.4% in 2002. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2017 to 2025 the straight-line trend is upward, about US$408.11 million a year. A straight line explains 94% of the movement over 9 observed years.
