Overview
China's industry value added stood at 36.57% in 2025, a rise of +0.10% from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 36.57% by 2025. China ranked 32nd globally.
China's Industry Value Added has displayed significant fluctuations over the past 66 years, with an all-time peak of 47.97 in 1980, a decline to 31.05 in 1968, and a gradual recovery. The latest available data from the World Bank indicates a value of 36.57 in 2025, positioning China at 32nd globally. This trend suggests that despite rapid industrialization, China's industry value added has not kept pace with its peers, such as San Marino, which boasts a higher value of 37.66. Notably, China's industry value added has experienced a downward trajectory since the 1980 peak, with a recent stagnation around the 36 mark. The persistence of this trend may be attributed to various factors, including economic structural adjustments and shifts in global trade dynamics. A significant change in China's industrial policy or global economic conditions could potentially alter the trajectory of its industry value added, with a potential for growth if investments in high-tech sectors and infrastructure development are prioritized.
