They are a source of growth; an enabler of global trade; and a keyelement of U.S. competitiveness. •The Internet- and ICT-related sectors already account for over five percent ofU.S. GDP, and that number does not capture their true potential. •Experts estimate that digitization has the potential to boost annual U.S. GDP upto $2.2 trillion by 2025.•The U.S. exported ~$400 billion in digitally-deliverable services in 2014 – morethan half of U.S. services exports and more than one-sixth of all U.S. goods andservices exports.
