Manufacturing Share of GDP by Country 2024
This chart ranks countries by manufacturing value added as a share of GDP in 2024. Unlike the broader industry measure, this excludes mining, construction and utilities, isolating factory production alone.
About This Dataset
Manufacturing Share of GDP by Country 2024Puerto Rico leads with manufacturing at 44.1% of GDP, roughly 15 points clear of Ireland on 29.6%, and both figures are shaped by pharmaceutical plants operated by multinationals rather than by domestic industrial tradition. Removing mining and construction transforms the picture entirely: not one of the oil states that dominate the broader industry ranking appears here. Instead Asia's factory economies emerge, with Cambodia on 27.8%, South Korea on 26.6%, China on 24.8%, Vietnam on 24.3%, Thailand on 24.2% and Malaysia on 22.5% taking six of the eleven places. South Korea is the only high-income country in that group, showing how rare it is for a wealthy nation to stay this manufacturing-heavy as services expand.
