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

Overview
Sweden's services value added stood at 65.86% in 2025, a decline of +0.57% from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 65.86% by 2025. Sweden ranked 45th globally.
Sweden’s services value added has risen steadily from 57.42 in 1980 to 65.86 in 2025, placing the country 45th globally and positioning it just below Portugal’s 66.67 and the European Union’s 65.78. The indicator reached its all‑time high of 66.43 in 2024, a modest increase over the 2025 figure, while the lowest point occurred in 1985 at 55.81, reflecting the structural shift toward a knowledge‑intensive economy that began in the late 1980s. Over the 46‑year coverage period, the upward trajectory has been driven by expansion in high‑skill services such as information technology, finance, and tourism, which have outpaced traditional manufacturing. Compared with Estonia’s 65.81, Sweden’s performance underscores its relative strength within the Nordic and broader European context. Continued investment in digital infrastructure and the integration of advanced services are likely to sustain the gradual rise, although a slowdown could emerge if global demand for services weakens or labor market constraints intensify.
