South Sudan's Industry Value Added has experienced significant fluctuations over the past decade, with the country's manufacturing and industrial sectors facing considerable challenges. Despite its all-time peak of $61.23 million in 2011, the industry value added plummeted to a low of $22.22 million in 2013, indicating a substantial decline in the sector's contribution to the country's GDP. However, the value has somewhat recovered, reaching $33.09 million in 2015. Compared to its peer countries, South Sudan's industry value added lags behind Algeria, which had a value of $32.76 million in the same year. The country's industrial sector has historically been hindered by a lack of infrastructure, conflict, and economic instability. To change the trajectory of the industry value added, South Sudan would need to invest in infrastructure development, attract foreign investment, and address the ongoing economic challenges, which could potentially lead to a revival of the sector and an increase in the industry value added in the coming years.
