According to the National Bank, in the first quarter of 2026, Georgia's IT sector export revenues grew to $441.3 million, which is 65% or $175 million more than a year earlier.
The sharp growth continued the record-breaking year of 2025, when the sector's total revenue reached $1.15 billion, an increase of 67%. As a result, the information and communication industry, which includes the IT segment, became the most dynamically growing sector of the economy at the beginning of 2026, with an increase of about 36%.
The total volume of the sector reached 2.2 billion GEL, reflecting the increasing role of digital services in the country's economic structure.
Experts attribute this surge to the migration effect of recent years: thousands of IT specialists from various countries, including Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus, have moved to Georgia. Many of them registered companies or worked as individual entrepreneurs, forming the export of IT services through local jurisdiction.
