Industry Sector Contribution to GDP in Australia (1990-2022)

Australia’s industry sector contribution declined from 28.8% in 1990 to 22.3% in 2016, reflecting a shift toward a service-oriented economy and fluctuating global commodity prices. Mining expansion led to a partial resurgence, peaking at 27.5% in 2022. Factors affecting this sector include resource exports, global demand for commodities, and investment in technology to optimize mining and manufacturing. The contribution saw variation with economic cycles, particularly in mining-dominated regions, illustrating Australia's adaptation to changing global economic conditions and market demands.
