Industry (including construction) value added as % of GDP NV.IND.TOTL.ZS
Tonga's industry value added was 16.30% in 2025, ranked 153rd globally. This represents a 9.7% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1975–2025.
Overview
Tonga's industry value added stood at 16.30% in 2025, a rise of +1.44% from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 16.30% by 2025. Tonga ranked 153rd globally.
Tonga’s industry value added has risen steadily over the 50‑year series, moving from an all‑time trough of 8.77 in 1975 to a peak of 19.09 in 2011, before settling at 16.30 in 2025, which places the kingdom at 153rd in the global ranking. The post‑peak decline of roughly 2.79 points reflects a modest contraction after the early‑2010s expansion, yet the 2025 figure remains higher than the 1975 baseline and comparable to peer small‑state economies such as St. Vincent and the Grenadines (16.32) and Fiji (16.07). The long‑run upward trajectory suggests that continued investment in manufacturing and processing of marine resources could sustain the recent level, while diversification away from a narrow export base would be needed to reverse the slight downward drift observed since the 2011 high.
