Overview
Kosovo's industry value added stood at 25.50% in 2025, a decline of +0.31% from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 25.50% by 2025. Kosovo ranked 79th globally.
Kosovo’s industry value added has slipped to 25.50 in 2025, placing it 79th in the World Bank’s global ranking and marking the lowest point in the 18‑year series that began in 2008. The indicator fell from an early‑series high of 27.04 in 2008 and a brief all‑time peak of 27.99 in 2009, indicating a gradual erosion of industrial contribution over more than a decade. By contrast, peer economies such as Jordan recorded 25.64 and Denmark 25.49 in the same year, suggesting that Kosovo now sits marginally above Denmark but just below Jordan in terms of industrial output share. The downward trajectory reflects persistent structural challenges, including limited diversification and modest foreign direct investment inflows, which have constrained capacity expansion. If Kosovo can attract higher‑value manufacturing and improve supply‑chain linkages, the modest decline may be halted and a modest recovery could emerge in the coming years.
