Industry (including construction) value added as % of GDP NV.IND.TOTL.ZS
Bahrain's industry value added was 44.77% in 2025, ranked 15th globally. This represents a 5.9% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 2006–2025.
Overview
Bahrain's industry value added stood at 44.77% in 2025, a rise of +2.48% from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 44.77% by 2025. Bahrain ranked 15th globally.
Bahrain’s industry value added has shown a modest but persistent decline over the past two decades, falling from 45.28 in 2006 to 44.77 in 2025, which places the kingdom at 15th globally. The sector’s all‑time peak of 50.41 in 2008 was followed by a pronounced contraction to a trough of 38.20 in 2016, reflecting the combined impact of regional oil price volatility and structural shifts toward services. By comparison, neighboring peer Azerbaijan recorded a higher 2025 value of 46.58, while Norway’s 44.38 suggests that Bahrain remains marginally above some advanced economies despite its lower diversification. The downward trajectory since the 2016 low indicates that without further investment in high‑technology manufacturing and export‑oriented industries, Bahrain’s industrial contribution is likely to continue edging downward, although targeted policy reforms could stabilize or modestly improve the trend in the coming years.
