Industry (including construction) value added as % of GDP NV.IND.TOTL.ZS
Oman's industry value added was 58.86% in 2025, ranked 7th globally. This represents a 8.7% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1961–2025.
Overview
Oman's industry value added stood at 58.86% in 2025, a rise of +4.70% from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 58.86% by 2025. Oman ranked 7th globally.
Oman's industry value added has risen from a low of 7.98 in 1961 to 58.86 in 2025, placing the country seventh globally and reflecting a 65‑year expansion of the industrial sector. The all‑time peak of 82.52 in 1974, achieved during the oil‑boom era, remains markedly above the current level, indicating that the post‑boom diversification drive has not fully restored the earlier output intensity. Compared with regional peers, Oman’s 2025 figure slightly exceeds Gabon’s 58.80 and trails Iraq’s 59.87, while remaining well below Qatar’s 62.55, underscoring a moderate but competitive industrial base in the Gulf. The sustained upward trajectory since the 1960s suggests that continued investment in non‑hydrocarbon manufacturing and value‑chain integration could gradually close the gap with higher‑ranking neighbours, potentially lifting the industry share of GDP further in the coming decade.
