Overview
Chad's industry value added stood at 32.51% in 2025, a rise of +3.83% from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 32.51% by 2025. Chad ranked 46th globally.
Chad’s industry value added has risen from an early‑record low of 8.87 in 1962 to a peak of 43.40 in 2012, reflecting a gradual structural shift toward manufacturing and extractive activities over a 66‑year span. By 2025 the indicator stands at 32.51, placing the country 46th globally and virtually matching the 2025 figures of peers such as Zambia (32.55) and Thailand (32.40). The post‑2000 surge was driven by expanded oil production and modest growth in cement and food‑processing sectors, yet the subsequent decline from the 2012 high suggests that the initial resource boom has moderated. Relative to the early trough, the current level represents more than a three‑fold increase, but it remains well below the all‑time peak, indicating room for further diversification. Continued investment in value‑added processing and regional integration could lift the trajectory, while reliance on volatile commodity prices may constrain future gains.
