Key Market Indicators
Maltese computer hardware exports are projected to plummet to approximately $152,000 by 2028, down from around $262,000 in 2023. This represents a sharp annual decline of 8.6% in the compound annual growth rate (CAGR). The downward trend in Malta's computer hardware exports is not a new development, as the supply has been decreasing at a rate of 6.8% annually since 1999. In contrast, Malta's computer hardware imports are expected to experience a modest increase. By 2028, imports are forecasted to reach nearly $7.85 million, up from about $7.66 million in 2023. This growth translates to an average annual increase of 0.4%. Since 1999, the demand for computer hardware imports in Malta has been on a slow but steady rise, growing at an average rate of 0.5% per year.
