Services Share of GDP by Country 2024

About This Dataset

This chart ranks countries by services value added as a share of GDP in 2024. Services cover finance, tourism, retail, transport, education, health and government, everything outside agriculture and industry.

✨ AI Insight

Macao leads with services at 92% of GDP, narrowly ahead of Hong Kong on 91.5% and Bermuda on 91.3%, and all three exceed 91%, a level of specialisation no large economy comes close to. The list divides into two clear types: gambling and tourism economies such as Macao and the Bahamas, and offshore financial centres such as Bermuda, the Cayman Islands, Monaco, Luxembourg and Andorra. Every entry is small, which is the point, as tiny territories can abandon agriculture and industry entirely in a way large nations cannot. Sao Tome and Principe on 81.1% is the outlier, a developing island state whose high share reflects a weak productive base rather than financial sophistication.
