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.

Simple example

A share of 13% means factories produce about one-eighth of GDP.

▲ When it is high or rising

A large manufacturing base often supports exports and jobs.

▼ When it is low or falling

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.
