Understanding GDP from Industry — a simple guide

What it measures

Value added by industry — mining, manufacturing, construction, electricity, water and gas — as a share of GDP.

How it is calculated

Value added by mining, manufacturing, construction and utilities ÷ GDP × 100.

Simple example

A share of 25% means a quarter of output comes from industry.

▲ When it is high or rising

A higher share links the economy more closely to global demand and commodity prices.

▼ When it is low or falling

A lower share usually means services dominate.

Why it matters for the economy and markets

Industry is often more cyclical than services and more sensitive to global demand and commodity prices.

How to read it

Compare with manufacturing alone to separate factory output from mining and construction.
