Overview
Uruguay's services value added stood at 65.60% in 2025, a rise of +0.34% from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 65.60% by 2025. Uruguay ranked 48th globally.
Uruguay’s services value added rose from 58.63 in 1983 to a peak of 68.46 in 1993, reflecting a strong expansion of the sector during the early 1990s, before falling to a trough of 53.08 in 1987 amid regional macro‑economic instability. Over the 43‑year series the indicator has generally trended upward, reaching 65.60 in 2025, which places Uruguay at rank 48 globally and just below the European Union’s 65.78 and Estonia’s 65.81. The post‑peak decline was reversed in the late 1990s as market liberalisation and tourism growth boosted service output, and the recent figure suggests a consolidation of that recovery. Continued investment in digital infrastructure and export‑oriented services could sustain the modest upward trajectory, while any resurgence of external shocks or fiscal constraints would likely temper further gains.
