seemingly established the basis for the development of other ICTs: patenting in the field peaked in 2006, fell<br />
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 />
down into the domestic and foreign components (the latter is subsequently further decomposed into the<br />
regions from which the value added of ICT goods and services originate). The domestic value added
