Understanding GDP from Manufacturing — a simple guide
What it measures
Manufacturing value added as a share of GDP.
How it is calculated
Value added by factories ÷ GDP × 100.
A share of 13% means factories produce about one-eighth of GDP.
A large manufacturing base often supports exports and jobs.
A smaller share can still mean rising output if services grow faster.
Why it matters for the economy and markets
Manufacturing drives exports, productivity and supply chains in many economies.
How to read it
A falling share does not necessarily mean falling output — services may simply be growing faster.
