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

Ghana’s industrial sector contribution rose substantially from 16.8% in 1990, peaking at 34.1% in 2013, thanks to gold mining and oil exploration. However, economic fluctuations led to a decline, settling at 32.0% in 2022. While mining remains central, recent shifts have seen increased focus on manufacturing and energy to sustain growth. Ghana’s industrial contribution trends illustrate the economy’s sensitivity to commodity price volatility and reflect its strategic pivot toward diverse industrialization beyond resource extraction.
