Nepal’s information technology sector has reached a major milestone, with industry representatives estimating that service exports will have crossed the $1 billion mark in 2025. The figure suggests that IT exports have more than doubled since 2022, when a study by the Institute for Integrated Development Studies placed earnings at around $515 million.
The latest estimate, provided by the Nepal Association for Software and IT Services, is based on industry growth trends of about 20 per cent annually. While a detailed survey is expected later this year, sector leaders say current hiring and business expansion indicate that the billion-dollar threshold has likely been reached.
