Manufacturing Output by Country, 2004-2021

About This Dataset

Manufacturing Output by Country, 2004-2021
Annual manufacturing value added for twelve of the world's largest manufacturing economies, in current US dollars, from 2004 to 2021. The window is set by the data rather than by choice: the World Bank series for China begins in 2004 and the series for the United States stops after 2021, so 2004-2021 is the span in which all twelve countries report every year. Figures are in billions of current US dollars and are not adjusted for inflation.

China grew 675 percent over the period against 55.1 percent for the United States, and India grew second-fastest at 305.9 percent, from 112.2 billion to 455.4 billion.
