Norway Services Value Added
Services value added as % of GDP NV.SRV.TOTL.ZS
Norway's services value added was 45.89% in 2025, ranked 157th globally. This represents a 11.4% decrease from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1970–2025.
Overview
Norway's services value added stood at 45.89% in 2025, a decline of +5.92% from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 45.89% by 2025. Norway ranked 157th globally.
Norway’s services value added fell to 45.89 in 2025, placing the country 157th in the world and marking a sharp decline from the all‑time peak of 59.60 recorded in 2020. The downward swing accelerated after the all‑time trough of 41.82 in 2022, suggesting that the contraction in service‑sector output persisted for several years. Over the 56‑year series beginning in 1970, when services value added stood at 55.31, the long‑term trend has been negative, contrasting with the modestly higher figures of peer economies such as Rwanda (46.79) and Nicaragua (45.92). The sustained fall may reflect structural shifts, including reduced demand for high‑value tourism and digital services, as well as broader macro‑economic pressures. If policy measures succeed in revitalising export‑oriented services and enhancing productivity, the downward trajectory could be halted, allowing Norway’s service sector to regain some of the momentum lost since the early 2020s.
