Antigua and Barbuda's industry value added was 18.01% in 2025, ranked 140th globally. This represents a 5.2% decrease from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1977–2025.
Overview
Antigua and Barbuda's industry value added stood at 18.01% in 2025, a decline of +0.98% from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 18.01% by 2025. Antigua and Barbuda ranked 140th globally.
Antigua and Barbuda’s industry value added has risen steadily over the 48‑year series, moving from a low of 10.06 in 1983 to an all‑time peak of 21.12 in 2020, before settling at 18.01 in 2025, which places the country 140th in the global ranking. The post‑peak decline reflects a modest contraction after the 2020 high, yet the 2025 figure remains well above the early‑era trough and exceeds the early‑stage level of 11.36 recorded in 1977. Compared with peers of similar rank, Antigua and Barbuda’s 2025 industry value added is close to the Netherlands (18.11), France (17.86) and New Zealand (18.28), suggesting a competitive position among small open economies that rely on tourism and services. The persistent upward trajectory since the 1980s indicates structural diversification, but future shifts in global supply chains or a resurgence in manufacturing could alter the current modest downward drift and potentially lift the indicator toward a new peak.
