Manufacturing Share of GDP by Country, 2004-2021

About This Dataset

Manufacturing Share of GDP by Country, 2004-2021
Manufacturing value added as a share of GDP for the same twelve manufacturing economies, 2004 to 2021. This is the companion to the output chart and it often moves the other way: a country can raise its manufacturing output every single year and still watch this line fall, because the rest of its economy grew faster. The window is 2004-2021 for the same coverage reason - it is the span in which all twelve countries report every year.
✨ AI Insight

Eleven of the twelve countries ended 2021 with a smaller manufacturing share of GDP than they had in 2004. Mexico is the only one that rose, by 2.0 points to 20.8 percent. Indonesia fell furthest, from 28.1 percent to 19.2 percent, and it did that while its manufacturing output was growing 216.6 percent in dollar terms - the share drops because everything else grew faster still. The United Kingdom ends lowest at 8.7 percent, with France next at 9.1 percent, against 26.6 percent for China and 26.2 percent for South Korea. Even China fell, from 31.5 percent to 26.6 percent, so the country that added the most output also shrank in relative terms.
