A 2024 study by ACEPI and GoingNext reports Portugal's digital economy contributed 40.4% of the country's value added, up from 32.3% in 2019. Digitalization added 36.8 million euros in productivity capacity, employing 1.11 million people (21.7% of employment). Key findings include 82.8% of digital value added coming from non-tech sectors, 73% of companies reporting productivity gains but only 9% reporting revenue gains, and 64% prioritizing AI investment over formal strategies. The report notes a widening digital gap with the EU in 2025, particularly among small and medium enterprises.
