Overview
Bangladesh's industry value added stood at 34.86% in 2025, a rise of +0.77% from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 34.86% by 2025. Bangladesh ranked 37th globally.
Bangladesh’s industry value added has risen dramatically over the 66‑year series, climbing from a low of 6.06 in 1972 to a peak of 34.86 in 2025, which places the country at 37th globally. The latest figure of 34.86 underscores a more than five‑fold increase since the early 1970s and reflects a structural shift toward manufacturing and processing that began in the 1990s and accelerated after 2005. Compared with peer economies, Bangladesh’s 2025 level is just below Tajikistan’s 34.90 and Peru’s 35.45, and modestly above Zimbabwe’s 34.05, indicating a competitive position among emerging industrializers. The sustained expansion is linked to export‑oriented garment production, infrastructure upgrades, and policy incentives for foreign investment. Continued growth will likely depend on diversification beyond textiles, improvements in energy reliability, and further integration into regional supply chains, suggesting that the upward trajectory could persist if these reforms are pursued.
