Industry Sector Contribution to GDP in Japan (1994-2022)

Japan’s industry sector has shown a gradual decline from 34.6% in 1994 to around 29% in recent years. The 2008 global financial crisis led to a sharper decrease, but Japan’s industrial output rebounded, stabilizing in the range of 26-29% in the last decade. Japan’s commitment to innovation in technology and automotive sectors maintains its industrial relevance, although a shift toward service-oriented growth is evident. By 2022, the contribution stood at 26.9%, reflecting Japan’s blend of tradition in high-tech manufacturing with an evolving, diversified economy.
