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

Overview
Tanzania's services value added stood at 27.18% in 2025, a decline of +2.39% from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 27.18% by 2025. Tanzania ranked 195th globally.
Tanzania’s services value added rose from 22.93 in 1990 to 27.18 in 2025, placing the country 195th globally and reflecting modest expansion over a 36‑year span. The indicator peaked dramatically at 49.12 in 2001, a level more than double the 1990 figure, before retreating to a trough of 21.94 in 1991, the lowest point in the series. Compared with peer economies, Tanzania’s 2025 value is slightly below Chad’s 28.74 and far above Guyana’s 6.15, suggesting a middle‑of‑the‑road performance within its rank cluster. The post‑peak decline after 2001 indicates that gains in service sector productivity have been uneven, likely constrained by limited infrastructure and human‑capital challenges. Continued investment in digital connectivity and skills development could reverse the recent stagnation, allowing Tanzania to sustain higher service‑sector growth and improve its standing in future World Bank assessments.
