Aruba Services Value Added
Services value added as % of GDP NV.SRV.TOTL.ZS
Aruba's services value added was 77.97% in 2025, ranked 13th globally. This represents a 1.3% decrease from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1995–2025.
Overview
Aruba's services value added stood at 77.97% in 2025, a decline of +1.03% from 2022. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 77.97% by 2025. Aruba ranked 13th globally.
Aruba’s services value added fell from its 1995 peak of 81.04 % of GDP to a low of 72.05 % in 2007 before recovering to 77.97 % in 2025, placing the island at 13th globally. The decline during the mid‑2000s coincided with a regional slowdown in tourism and financial services, sectors that dominate the Aruban economy, while the subsequent rebound reflects renewed visitor flows and diversification efforts after the global financial crisis. Compared with peers of similar rank, St. Lucia recorded 78.77 % and the Bahamas 78.79 % in the same year, indicating that Aruba remains slightly behind the top performers in the Caribbean‑Atlantic cluster. The 29‑year series shows a gradual upward trajectory since the trough, suggesting that continued investment in high‑value tourism and digital services could sustain modest growth in the services share of GDP, although external shocks to travel demand would still pose a risk to the forward path.
