Myanmar Industry Value Added
Industry (including construction) value added as % of GDP NV.IND.TOTL.ZS
Myanmar's industry value added was 37.95% in 2025, ranked 26th globally. This represents a 0.4% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 2000–2025.
Overview
Myanmar's industry value added stood at 37.95% in 2025, a rise of +0.13% from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 37.95% by 2025. Myanmar ranked 26th globally.
Myanmar’s industry value added has risen sharply from an all‑time trough of 9.69 in 2000 to a 2025 level of 37.95, placing the country 26th globally. The upward trajectory peaked in 2019 at 38.41 before a modest decline to the current figure, suggesting that the post‑2015 expansion largely plateaued after reaching its high. This performance is comparable to peers such as Viet Nam, which recorded 38.16, and Malaysia at 38.01, indicating that Myanmar is now operating at a level similar to middle‑income economies in the region. The 26‑year coverage shows a more than three‑fold increase in industrial contribution to GDP, reflecting structural reforms and investment inflows over the past two decades. Continued diversification of manufacturing and improvements in infrastructure will be crucial to sustain growth, as any slowdown in foreign direct investment or domestic policy uncertainty could reverse the recent gains.
