Overview
Colombia's services value added stood at 56.00% in 2025, a decline of +2.14% from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 56.00% by 2025. Colombia ranked 109th globally.
Colombia’s services value added has risen steadily over the 61‑year series, moving from 46.46 in 1965 to 56.00 in 2025, placing the country 109th in the world. The indicator reached its all‑time peak of 60.12 in 2020, a level that remains above the current figure, while the lowest point occurred in 1977 at 45.04. The recent value is closely aligned with peers such as Ecuador (56.30) and Kenya (55.96), suggesting that Colombia is performing on par with other emerging economies that rely heavily on services for growth. The upward trajectory since the 1970s reflects structural shifts toward tourism, finance, and information technology, yet the modest decline from the 2020 peak indicates vulnerability to external shocks, including global demand fluctuations. Continued diversification of high‑value services and investment in digital infrastructure will be critical to sustain the upward trend and potentially surpass the 2020 high watermark.
