Overview
Niger's industry value added stood at 16.65% in 2025, a decline of +0.92% from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 16.65% by 2025. Niger ranked 149th globally.
Niger’s industry value added has risen from a low of 3.45 in 1961 to 16.65 in 2025, placing the country 149th among 190 economies measured by the World Bank. The sector’s all‑time peak of 27.57 was recorded in 1990, after which a gradual decline set in, reaching the current level that is marginally below Uruguay’s 16.77 and Kenya’s 16.57, while still trailing the United Kingdom’s 17.21. Over the 66‑year series, the modest upward trajectory since the early 2000s reflects limited diversification beyond subsistence agriculture and modest gains in mining and small‑scale manufacturing. The persistence of low industrialisation, coupled with infrastructure constraints and a narrow export base, suggests that without substantial investment in value‑added processing and regional integration, Niger’s industry value added is likely to remain near its present plateau, while targeted reforms could lift it toward the higher levels seen in peer economies.
