Overview
Ecuador's services value added stood at 56.30% in 2025, a decline of +0.85% from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 56.30% by 2025. Ecuador ranked 108th globally.
Ecuador’s services sector contributed 56.30 % of gross domestic product in 2025, placing the country 108th in the World Bank’s global ranking and positioning it alongside peers such as North Macedonia (56.45 %) and Colombia (56.00 %). The indicator has risen steadily from an early‑record low of 39.89 % in 1963 to a long‑term high of 61.32 % in 2020, reflecting the gradual shift of the economy toward tourism, finance and digital services over six decades. The 66‑year coverage shows a consistent upward trajectory, with the most recent decade averaging above 55 % and narrowing the gap with higher‑ranked economies. Structural reforms in the 2010s, expanded broadband access and the growth of export‑oriented service clusters have underpinned this progress, while external shocks such as the COVID‑19 pandemic momentarily tempered expansion. Continued investment in human capital and digital infrastructure will be pivotal to sustain the upward trend and potentially lift Ecuador’s services value added above the current peer group.
