What the numbers say
In 2025, United States' ICT service exports (BoP, current US$) rose 13.2% on 2024 (from US$89.88 billion to US$101.73 billion).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was +10.2% and a typical year strayed about 7.8% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.4 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 101.1% in 1986 and the biggest yearly fall was 21.1% 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 2016 to 2025 the straight-line trend is upward, about US$6.1 billion a year. A straight line explains 95% 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.
A straight-line projection, tested first
Extending that straight line gives about US$108.27 billion for 2028. We show this only because the same method, fitted on earlier years, predicted 2023 to 2025 better than "no change" would have: its average miss was US$14.62 billion, against US$18.98 billion for assuming no change. Treat it as a continuation of the recent pattern, not a forecast of events: it cannot see a recession, a policy change or a revision to the data.
