The 2023 data indicate Ireland holds the highest share of global charges paid for the use of foreign intellectual property, well ahead of the United States and China. Countries like Sweden and Israel have seen significant increases, while a few others, such as Panama and Bolivia, experienced declines. Notably, Ireland's share increased by over 12%, while China's declined by over 6% compared to the previous year. Looking back over the past five years, Lithuania and Malawi demonstrated remarkable CAGR while established economies exhibited modest variations.
Future trends to watch include potential shifts in intellectual property usage towards emerging markets, potentially increasing their global BOP share. Additionally, geopolitical changes and digital transformation could impact charges, requiring countries to continually adapt. Notably, the evolving patent landscape and international trade policies may influence these trends and the associated global movement of intellectual property rights.
