Overview
Chad's services value added stood at 28.74% in 2025, a decline of +1.04% from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 28.74% by 2025. Chad ranked 194th globally.
Chad’s services value added has fallen sharply from its early post‑independence high of 48.14 in 1960 to a recent 28.74 in 2025, placing the country 194th in the world. The sector reached its all‑time peak of 51.77 in 1977, a period when Chad’s modest urbanisation and limited infrastructure still allowed a relatively larger share of the economy to be captured by transport, communications and public administration. A pronounced trough occurred in 2010, when services value added dropped to 26.48, reflecting the combined impact of political instability, falling oil revenues and a weak private‑sector environment. By 2025 Chad’s figure remains below that of neighbouring Tanzania (27.18) and Tajikistan (32.55), indicating that regional peers have managed to sustain slightly higher service contributions despite comparable development constraints. Continued investment in digital infrastructure and reforms to improve the business climate could stabilise the decline and eventually lift the services share of GDP.
