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

The industry sector in Denmark showed steady contributions to GDP from 1990 through the early 2000s, hovering around 22-23%. The year 2000 marked a slight peak at 23.7%, largely due to increased manufacturing and export activities. However, the 2008 global financial crisis led to a downturn, with contributions declining to 20% by 2009 and dipping further during the recovery period, reaching 19.7% in 2010. Denmark’s shift towards a service-oriented economy and increased focus on sustainability and green energy industries also impacted the traditional industry contributions, maintaining a stable but lower range around 19.7% from 2020 through 2022. This period highlights Denmark's economic adaptation, transitioning from reliance on manufacturing to strengthening its sustainable and technology-driven sectors, balancing industrial contributions within a diversified economy.
