Digital Economy Reporting

In today’s dynamic and rapidly evolving economic landscape, the digital economy has become a cornerstone of our economic growth, job creation, and innovation in the United States. According to the Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), in 2022, the U.S. digital economy added nearly $2.6 trillion in value to the overall U.S. economy.

In the global marketplace, the digital economy presents massive opportunities for U.S. companies as well as some emerging barriers and challenges. ITA is taking a number of steps to support U.S. businesses and advance U.S. global leadership in the digital economy.  See full factsheet: International Trade Administration Efforts to Advance U.S. Competitiveness and Trade in the Digital Economy.

To better inform and serve micro, small and medium-sized U.S. businesses, ITA’s industry experts and commercial diplomats, working in U.S. embassies and consulates abroad, have begun reporting annually on the digital economy business environment, challenges and opportunities for U.S. trading partners around the world. This reporting, as a new chapter of the popular Country Commercial Guides, provides practical and actionable information to help U.S. businesses stay informed of the latest trends and opportunities. Going forward, the Country Commercial Guides will include an annually updated Digital Economy chapter.
