Overview
Cuba's industry value added stood at 24.54% in 2025, a rise of +0.69% from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 24.54% by 2025. Cuba ranked 94th globally.
Cuba’s industry value added has risen modestly over the 56‑year series, moving from 16.94 in 1970 to 24.54 in 2025, which places the island nation at 94th in the world rankings. The sector’s highest contribution was recorded in 1997 at 27.58, while the lowest point occurred a decade earlier in 1987 with 16.17, reflecting the structural adjustments of the late Cold‑War era. Compared with peers of similar rank, Cuba’s 2025 figure of 24.54 is virtually identical to Switzerland’s 24.53 and slightly below Burkina Faso’s 24.66, suggesting that despite divergent economic models, the proportion of output generated by industry remains comparable across very different economies. The gradual upward trajectory since the 1980s indicates a slow but steady diversification away from a historically agrarian base. Continued investment in manufacturing and renewable energy could accelerate this trend, potentially lifting Cuba’s industry share above the mid‑twenties in the coming decade.
