Services value added as % of GDP NV.SRV.TOTL.ZS

Overview
Niger's services value added stood at 48.03% in 2025, a rise of +3.00% from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 48.03% by 2025. Niger ranked 148th globally.
Niger’s services value added reached 48.03 in 2025, placing the country 148th in the world and marking a modest rise from its 1960 level of 20.79. The indicator climbed steadily after a low of 20.48 in 1962, peaked at 48.38 in 1989, and has hovered near that high for the past three decades. Compared with peers of similar rank, Senegal recorded 48.22 and Lesotho 48.01 in the same year, indicating that Niger’s service sector performance is broadly aligned with other low‑income economies that rely on informal trade and public administration. The persistence of a high share of services despite limited industrial diversification suggests that structural constraints remain, while modest improvements reflect gradual urbanisation and modest expansion of telecommunications. Continued investment in digital infrastructure and vocational training could deepen the services base, potentially lifting Niger’s value added above its historical peak and improving its relative standing in the coming years.
