Industry Sector Contribution to GDP in Peru (1991-2022)

Peru’s industry sector contribution to GDP rose from 25.9% in 1991 to a high of 37.7% in 2007, driven by mining and construction booms, especially in copper and gold. Following this peak, the 2008 financial crisis triggered a decline, with contributions falling to 33.6% by 2009. The 2010s saw further reductions, stabilizing around 30-32%, as Peru diversified its economy while remaining reliant on resource extraction. A slight recovery occurred in 2021, with a contribution of 34.8%, supported by government initiatives to attract foreign investment in mining. Peru’s industry sector reflects resilience in mining and construction, adapting to economic shifts and global commodity demand.
