The Netherlands’ manufacturing sector has seen a gradual decline from 16.7% in 1990 to around 10-11% in the 2010s. The sector stabilized at 11.4% by 2022, thanks to a shift towards high-value manufacturing in areas like chemicals, electronics, and food processing. Despite a reduced overall share, Dutch manufacturing remains competitive in specialized, technology-driven subsectors, benefiting from robust infrastructure and innovation policies that support manufacturing’s role in a service-dominated economy.
