6 Biggest ASX Technology ETFs in 2025

It's indisputable that we're in an era of technology and our technological capabilities are exponentially increasing.

Fast-growing and already robust, Australia's tech sector is worth 8.5 percent of the country’s total GDP, or AU$167 billion. Furthermore, as of 2024, Australia ranked 15th in the world for digital competitiveness. Given the scale of the tech market in Australia and globally, ETFs can be a good choice for investors.

Advantages include lower expense ratios, diversification and fewer broker commissions. One disadvantage is a low level of liquidity.

Here the Investing News Network looks at ASX technology ETFs for those interested in investing in the digital future.

While many countries faced economic challenges as the pandemic caused worldwide shutdowns, the closures only accelerated Australia's move toward digital solutions. With monumental shifts in how business, banking and education are done, there came an increased focus on artificial intelligence (AI), fintech and more.
