Overview
Rwanda's industry value added stood at 21.88% in 2025, a rise of +0.91% from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 21.88% by 2025. Rwanda ranked 118th globally.
Rwanda's Industry Value Added has exhibited a relatively stable growth trajectory over the past six decades, with a coverage period spanning 61 years. The all-time peak of 24.62 in 1990, however, suggests a potential for higher industrial output, which was not sustained in the subsequent years. In contrast, the all-time trough of 6.77 in 1966 underscores the challenges the country faced in its early years of industrial development. Currently, Rwanda ranks 118 globally in terms of Industry Value Added, with a value of 21.88 in 2025. This ranking is comparable to that of Guatemala, which has a similar value of 21.91 in 2025. Despite the relatively stable growth, Rwanda's Industry Value Added has not shown significant improvement in recent years, suggesting a need for policy interventions to stimulate industrial growth. A sustained increase in foreign investment and improvements in infrastructure could potentially alter the trajectory of Rwanda's industrial development.
