go to full release

Total service exports increased by €32.9bn from €188.5bn in 2018 to €221.4bn in 2019. Total service imports increased by €91.9bn from €204.8bn in 2018 to €296.7bn in 2019. The increase in service exports was principally due to increased computer service exports (+€24.0bn) while the increase in service imports was predominantly due to increased R&D service imports related to Intellectual Property (IP) (+€67.6bn) as well as increased Royalty imports (+€11.8bn). As a result, the service deficit moved from €16.3bn in 2018 to €75.3bn in 2019. UK, US, Germany and the Netherlands remain Ireland’s most significant trading partners.

Computer services exports at €117.1bn remains the largest export category and accounted for 52.9 per cent of total service exports in 2019. R&D service imports, at €105.1bn, along with Royalties/Licences imports at €84.3bn, were the largest import categories. When combined, these two import categories accounted for 63.8 per cent of total service imports in 2019 (see Table 1).

Service exports to Europe (€114.2bn) increased by €15.1bn between 2018 and 2019 due mainly to increased Computer service exports (+€11.4bn). Service exports to the UK and Germany increase by €4.6bn and €1.8bn respectively, due to increased Computer services (+€2.4bn and +€1.9bn). Similarly, service exports to France, Netherlands and Switzerland increased by €0.8bn, €0.7bn and €0.9bn respectively also due to increased Computer services (+€0.8bn, +€0.4bn and +€0.6bn) (see Tables 2a & 2b).

Service exports to the US (€34.9bn) increased by €11.5bn in the same period, mainly in Other services n.e.s. (+€4.9bn). Service exports to China(€6.1bn) increased by €1.2bn.

Background Notes

The International Trade in Services provides, on an annual basis, greater analysis of the service components and significantly more geographical detail, including a cross-classification of service components according to counterpart country/region. The data are collected and compiled within the BOP framework and as such are designed to comply in so far as possible with the stipulated international methodological standards. They also conform closely with international presentation formats taking materiality and relevance into account as well as data confidentiality constraints. The results published in this release are generally compatible with the information supplied to and published by Eurostat and the European Central Bank (ECB) concerning the economic activities of EU and EMU residents with non-residents of these areas. The figures are also compatible with those supplied to other international organisations such as IMF and OECD.

For more detailed methodological information see International Trade in Services - Background Notes ( updated October 2017) (PDF 130KB)
