This represents a significant increase from the 38.78% recorded in 1960, showcasing the sector's expanding influence in the economy. The all-time peak of 50.64% in 2025 is a testament to India's growing services sector, which has outpaced the global average. Conversely, the sector hit an all-time trough of 32.95% in 1973, reflecting the economic challenges faced by India during that period. Compared to its peers, Eswatini's services value added is marginally higher at 50.73%, while Côte d'Ivoire's is relatively close at 50.58%. With India's services sector likely to continue driving economic growth, a significant shift in government policies or a major economic disruption could alter the trajectory of this trend.
