and then stabilised. EU member states, especially the United Kingdom, led developments in quantum<br />

computing, whereas the United States led developments in both big data and the IoT. China increased its share<br />

of patents in both of these areas significantly over the period (Figure 15).<br />

Digital technologies and services play an important role in the manufacturing sector, contributing to<br />

innovations. Figure 16 shows the value-added of ICT goods and services in total manufacturing exports, broken<br />
