What value added means
Manufacturing value added measures the value produced by factories after subtracting the cost of inputs. The share compares that value with total economic output. Source 1
How to compare factories across borders
A higher share can reflect differences in the rest of the economy as well as differences in manufacturing. Use the series to compare economic composition. Look to constant-price output for growth in production. Source 1
Where an export story starts
Manufacturing share and export share use different denominators. A large factory sector can sell primarily at home, and a trade series can include re-exports. Compare the output series with product-level customs data for an export question. Source 1
The value of a same-year view
The table includes available observations after 2024 where the provider reports them. Using 2024 for the four-way comparison avoids treating later figures for some countries as though they describe the same point in time. Source 1
