Overview
Ireland's industry value added stood at 33.38% in 2025, a decline of +0.25% from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 33.38% by 2025. Ireland ranked 41st globally.
Ireland’s industry value added has risen from 28.94 in 1995 to 33.38 in 2025, placing the country 41st globally. The indicator peaked at 40.76 in 2022, a level that remains well above the all‑time trough of 23.36 recorded in 2010, reflecting a post‑crisis recovery and the expansion of high‑tech manufacturing and pharmaceuticals. Over the 31‑year span, the upward trajectory mirrors that of peer economies such as Korea, which posted a comparable value of 33.23, and contrasts with Angola’s slightly higher 33.70, suggesting that Ireland’s industrial base is keeping pace with other emerging industrial performers. The sustained increase since the 2010 trough indicates resilience to external shocks, yet the modest slowdown from the 2022 peak hints at capacity constraints and global supply‑chain pressures. Continued investment in advanced manufacturing and diversification of export markets will be crucial for Ireland to regain its pre‑2022 growth momentum and further improve its standing in the global ranking.
