Higher competitiveness of knowledge – based industries is critical to national economy of developing countries, became it plays a direct role in creating value – added and bringing in foreign exchange. Their positive achievements spill over on the other sectors which in turn lead to higher productivity and bigger businesses. One of the main objectives of this study is to assess Iran’s competitiveness in knowledge – based products’ trade with Southwest Asian countries. The method used is based on variations in weighted markets, resulted from constant market share (CMS) model, relied upon both sides’ realized or Ex-Post export – import values during 2000-2008, as well as Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System. The results show that Iran’s share and position are neither desirable nor encouraging, though such exports have increased. If this situation persists, achieving the goals of Iran's Economic Prospect Plan will became difficult. Dynamic constructive interaction with industrial countries, providing the grounds for absorbing foreign investment, and outward – looking trade policies could enhance Iran’s competitiveness in this field.
