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

Canada’s industry sector has fluctuated moderately since the late 1990s, influenced by global commodity prices and shifts in North American trade dynamics. In 1997, industry contributed 27.7% to GDP, peaking at 29.5% in 2000 during a period of economic growth. The 2008 financial crisis led to a significant drop, with industry’s share falling to 25.1% in 2009. Contributions remained stable throughout the 2010s but began to decline in 2015 as Canada’s economy pivoted further towards services. By 2020, industry’s share dropped to 22.5%, partially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The recent rise to 24.6% in 2022 reflects recovery efforts and increased demand in sectors like construction and manufacturing, underscoring the sector’s adaptability.
