Manufacturing Sector Contribution to GDP in Nigeria (1990-2022)

Nigeria’s manufacturing contribution has seen a general downward trend since the 1990s, with a high of 20.9% in 1994. By the early 2000s, manufacturing's share fell as oil and service sectors dominated. Recent rises, reaching 14.6% in 2021, can be attributed to local manufacturing incentives and import substitution policies. Persistent inflation and infrastructural deficits, however, continue to limit sectoral growth.
