The Philippines’ digital economy continued to expand in 2025, growing by 5.4 percent to reach P2.74 trillion and accounting for 9.8 percent of the country’s gross domestic product, according to the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA).
Data released by the PSA showed that digital-enabling infrastructure remained the largest contributor to the sector, generating P1.79 trillion. This segment includes industries such as information and communications technology (ICT) services, ICT manufacturing, and ICT-enabled services, which together form the backbone of the country’s digital ecosystem.
E-commerce also played a major role, comprising 32.2 percent of the digital economy, while digital content and media contributed 2.2 percent. Government digital services made up a smaller share at 0.3 percent.
Beyond output, the digital sector continued to be a significant source of employment. It supported 10.39 million jobs in 2025, equivalent to 21.2 percent of total employment nationwide, slightly higher than the 10.27 million recorded the previous year.
E-commerce dominated digital employment, accounting for 75.8 percent of jobs in the sector. This was followed by digital-enabling infrastructure at 23.3 percent, while digital content, media, and government digital services contributed less than one percent combined.
The latest figures underscore the growing importance of digital industries in driving economic activity and job creation, as businesses and government services increasingly shift toward online and technology-driven platforms.
