In 2024, exports of high-tech goods from Czechia exceeded CZK 548 billion, accounting for 11.8 % of the country’s total goods exports, representing a year-on-year increase of 1.5%. Imports of high-tech goods reached CZK 703 billion, which is CZK 93 billion more than in 2023. The share of high-tech goods on total goods imports rose from 2023 to 2024 by 1.7 percentage points to 15.8 %. 
From a trade perspective, the most significant subcategories of high-tech goods continue to be Computers-office machines and Electronics and telecommunications.
