Overview
Italy's industry value added stood at 23.71% in 2025, a rise of +1.38% from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 23.71% by 2025. Italy ranked 102nd globally.
Italy’s industry value added has slipped from its 1990 peak of 27.92 % of GDP to a 2025 level of 23.71 % (rank 102 globally), marking a 4.21‑percentage‑point decline over 36 years. The lowest point occurred in 2014 at 20.19 %, after which the sector has recovered modestly but remains well below its early‑1990s strength. Compared with peers of similar ranking, Italy’s 2025 figure is slightly below Guinea’s 23.97 % and Sudan’s 23.60 %, yet above Lithuania’s 23.56 %, suggesting a relative position in the lower‑mid tier of industrial contribution among the listed economies. The long‑term downward trend reflects structural shifts toward services and persistent challenges in manufacturing competitiveness. Future trajectories will hinge on the effectiveness of policies aimed at digitalisation, green transition and investment in high‑value production, which could arrest the decline and potentially lift Italy’s industrial share of GDP.
