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

Austria’s industry sector has consistently contributed between 25% and 30% to GDP since the 1990s, reflecting a balanced economy with a robust industrial base. In 1990, industry made up 29.6% of GDP, slightly declining to around 27% by the mid-2000s. This shift reflects the rise of Austria’s service sector alongside moderate industrial output growth. During the 2009 global recession, industry’s share dropped to 25.8% but gradually stabilized as the economy recovered, returning to approximately 26% by 2022. Austria’s steady industrial contribution underscores its diversified industrial base, with manufacturing, machinery, and automotive sectors serving as key drivers of the economy.
