Industry Value Added including Construction (% of GDP) 1985

Industry, including construction, value added (% of GDP)·Neither end is better — this is a shape, not a score·Published by World Bank Group

51 reference years (1975–2025), covering 83 to 204 countries, pulled from the World Bank’s indicator API (NV.IND.TOTL.ZS). Mining, manufacturing, construction, electricity, water and gas together — the widest of the three sector shares on this site, and the reason oil states sit at the top of it with readings near 97%. ⚠ NEITHER END IS BETTER, which is why this indicator carries no good/bad colouring and does not feed its topics’ rankings: an economy that is 97% industry is not four times the economy that is 25%, it is a narrower one. ⚠ 40 country-years the Bank records as exactly 0 are treated as missing and not imported. ⚠ These are not 51 published reports — see `restatedByReport`. ⚠ No rank is published. A POSITION is derived here (2026-09-10) by ordering the score LARGEST FIRST, and it is a SIZE ORDER rather than a league table: this measure has no better end, so position 1 names the country with the biggest figure and says nothing about how that country is doing. The change arrows stay grey for the same reason, and the indicator is still left out of the Country Index.
