Manufacturing Sector Contribution to GDP in Colombia (1990-2022)

Colombia’s manufacturing share in GDP fell from 18% in 1990 to around 14% by the early 2000s, reflecting shifts to service-oriented sectors and global trade impacts. A moderate recovery in 2005-2007 increased manufacturing’s share to 16%, but the sector faced steady declines in the following years. The pandemic intensified this drop, reaching 10.8% in 2020. A slight increase to 11.5% by 2022 reflects post-pandemic recovery, though the sector remains constrained by limited industrial diversification and competition from imports.
