Industry (including construction) value added as % of GDP NV.IND.TOTL.ZS
Ecuador's industry value added was 28.59% in 2025, ranked 67th globally. This represents a 7.8% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1960–2025.
Overview
Ecuador's industry value added stood at 28.59% in 2025, a rise of +2.07% from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 28.59% by 2025. Ecuador ranked 67th globally.
Ecuador’s industry value added as a share of GDP has risen modestly from 22.02 in 1960 to 28.59 in 2025, placing it 67th globally and closely aligned with peers such as Bhutan (28.61) and Poland (28.05). The sector’s trajectory shows a pronounced peak of 38.92 in 2008, followed by a gradual decline that reached a trough of 21.67 in 1961, indicating that the post‑2008 downturn has been sustained over more than a decade. Over the 66‑year span covered, the average increase of roughly 0.1 percentage points per year reflects limited industrial diversification compared with more advanced economies, while the recent figure remains below the 2008 high by nearly 10 percentage points. The modest upward movement from the early 2000s suggests that incremental policy reforms and investment in higher‑value manufacturing could raise the share further, but without a concerted push toward technology‑intensive industries the upward trend is likely to remain gradual.
