Israeli exports hit all-time record of $165 billion in 2025 despite year of crisis
Israeli exports reached a record high in 2025, climbing to about $165 billion despite a year of security turmoil, economic uncertainty, and geopolitical shocks, according to data from the Israel Export Institute and the Economy and Industry Ministry. This marks an increase of roughly 10% from the previous year and one of the strongest export years in Israel’s history.
The most significant growth came from the services sector, which passed $92 billion for the first time and made up about 56% of total exports. The figures highlight the continued global strength of Israel’s high-tech, cybersecurity, fintech, software, and broader innovation sectors, and the economy’s growing reliance on high-tech as its main engine.
For the first time in four years, both goods and services exports rose together, a trend officials said suggests a broad-based recovery rather than growth driven by a single sector.
At the same time, officials cautioned that the results reflect what they called “fragile resilience.” Exporters are still dealing with a difficult global trade environment, geopolitical uncertainty, high financing costs, and volatile markets. A key challenge remains the strong shekel, which reduces dollar-based profitability and makes it harder for Israeli companies to compete internationally.
