Manufacturing value added
by country
Manufacturing value added as a share of economic output. The table keeps each country's reported year visible so stale and current observations are not treated as equivalent.
Before comparing
Important limits
The ratio does not measure factory sophistication, employment or export competitiveness. It can fall while manufacturing output still grows if services grow faster.
Measurement
% of GDP
World Bank indicator NV.IND.MANF.ZS. Values can be revised as national statistical agencies and international datasets update.
Source definition
Manufacturing, value added (% of GDP)
Manufacturing includes industries classified in ISIC (Rev. 3) major division C and is defined as the physical or chemical transformation of materials or components into new products. Value added is the contribution to the economy by a producer or an industry or an institutional sector, which is estimated by the total value of output produced and deducting the total value of intermediate consumption of goods and services used to produce that output. This indicator is expressed as a percentage of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) which is the total income earned through the production of goods and services in an economic territory during an accounting period.
