What the numbers say
In 2024, Poland's medium and high-tech manufacturing value added (% manufacturing value added) rose 0.69 percentage points on 2023 (from 33.28% to 33.97%).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1994 to 2023), the average change was +0.28 percentage points and a typical year strayed about 1.9 percentage points 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 5.71 percentage points in 1994 and the biggest yearly fall was 5.16 percentage points in 1992. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2015 to 2024 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 1% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.

What this measures
The proportion of medium and high-tech industry value added in total value added of manufacturing
Limitations: Value added by economic activity should be reported at least at 3-digit ISIC for compiling MHT values. Missing values at country level are imputed based on the methodology from Competitive Industrial Performance Report (UNIDO, 2017. Conversion to USD or difference in ISIC combinations may cause discrepancy between national and international figures.
