Overview
Armenia's industry employment stood at 21.30% in 2025, a rise of +0.40% from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 21.97% by 2026. Armenia ranked 114th globally.
Armenia's industry employment has experienced a gradual increase over the past 35 years, with the latest figure standing at 21.30 percent of the workforce. The country's all-time peak in industry employment was also recorded in 2025, at 21.30 percent, suggesting a steady growth trajectory. However, Armenia's industry employment has not yet surpassed that of its peer countries, such as Chile, which boasts a slightly higher rate of 21.50 percent. The trough in industry employment was witnessed in 2000, at 14.65 percent, marking a significant decline from the initial figure of 16.27 percent in 1991. Since then, Armenia has been gradually recovering, but the pace of growth remains relatively slow. A sustained increase in domestic investment and industrial production could potentially alter the trajectory of industry employment in Armenia, potentially propelling it closer to the rates of its peer countries.
