Overview
Canada's industry value added stood at 25.33% in 2021, a rise of +2.88% from 2020. Canada ranked 114th globally.
Canada's Industry Value Added has experienced a significant decline over the past two decades, with the indicator reaching an all-time low of 22.45 in 2020. Although the country has since rebounded to 25.33 in 2021, this value still lags behind the peak of 29.50 achieved in 2000. In comparison, Germany, a peer country, has maintained a relatively stable Industry Value Added, with a 2021 value of 25.16. The decline in Canada's Industry Value Added is a concerning trend, especially when considering the country's reliance on its industrial sector. A sustained recovery in this sector would require significant investments in research and development, as well as improvements in productivity and competitiveness. If Canada can successfully address these challenges, it may be able to regain its position as a leader in industry value added, potentially surpassing its 2000 peak and stabilizing its position among its peer countries.
