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.
A share of 25% means a quarter of output comes from industry.
A higher share links the economy more closely to global demand and commodity prices.
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.
