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

Ethiopia’s industrial sector experienced strong growth, rising from 9.3% in 1990 to 27.3% in 2018, bolstered by government-led industrialization policies and foreign investments, especially in manufacturing. However, political challenges and economic adjustments reduced this to 21.9% by 2021. The sector rebounded slightly in 2022 to 22.7%, with growth driven by textile and agro-industrial expansions. Ethiopia's industrial growth reflects its broader developmental goals, though progress is impacted by internal socio-economic factors and global market demand for Ethiopian exports.
