French Polynesia's industry value added stood at 10.65% in 2020, a decline of +0.04% from 2019. French Polynesia ranked 14th globally.
French Polynesia’s industry value added has shown a modest but persistent decline over the 16‑year series, falling from 11.38 in 2005 to 10.65 in 2020, which places the territory at 14th globally. The all‑time peak of 11.77 was recorded in 2009, while the lowest point of the record, 10.29, occurred in 2018, indicating that the 2020 figure remains above the recent trough yet still below the pre‑crisis peak. Compared with nearby Pacific economies, French Polynesia’s 2020 level exceeds Vanuatu’s 10.28 and is slightly below Samoa’s 11.12, reflecting a relative advantage in industrial activity within the sub‑regional cluster. The downward trajectory since the 2009 high suggests structural constraints, such as limited diversification and reliance on imported inputs, continue to weigh on the sector. If policy measures succeed in expanding high‑value manufacturing and improving supply‑chain resilience, the modest upward swing observed after the 2018 trough could be reinforced in the coming years.
