When measuring economic production around the world, most of what the world produces falls into one of three categories: agriculture, industry (which includes manufacturing), and services. Industry, which is defined as mining, manufacturing, construction, electricity, water, and gas, is the second-largest contributor to worldwide GDP.
Our latest series of visualizations look at how industry production contributes to the economy in individual countries around the world. The information in this visualization comes from the World Bank.
