About This Dataset

This chart ranks countries by industry value added as a share of GDP in 2024. Industry here includes mining, manufacturing, construction, electricity, water and gas, following the standard national accounts definition.

✨ AI Insight

Guyana leads with industry accounting for 76% of GDP, ahead of Libya on 73.5% and Brunei on 61.7%. Almost every country listed owes its position to oil and gas rather than factories: Libya, Brunei, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Gabon, Iraq and Equatorial Guinea are all petroleum economies. Guyana's presence at the top is the newest story here, the result of enormous offshore oil discoveries that transformed a small agricultural economy within a few years. This ranking is therefore a map of resource extraction, not industrial sophistication, and it carries a warning: such concentration leaves these economies highly exposed to a single commodity price. Puerto Rico at 47.2% is the only entry driven by manufacturing rather than extraction.
