Goal

Goal 9: Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation
Target

Target 9.2: Promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and, by 2030, significantly raise industry's share of employment and gross domestic product, in line with national circumstances, and double its share in least developed countries
Indicator

Indicator 9.2.1: Manufacturing value added as a proportion of GDP and per capita
Definition and concepts

This indicator measure the manufacturing value added (MVA) as a proportion of gross domestic product (GDP) and on a per capita basis. The share of MVA in GDP reflects the role of manufacturing in the economy and a country’s national development in general. MVA per capita is the basic indicator of a country’s level of industrialization adjusted for the size of the economy.
Comment and limitations

The series “Manufacturing value added (MVA) per capita” is a proxy. Data for this series are presented in current dollars rather than in constant 2015 United States dollars as specified by the UN global metadata.
Method of computation

Manufacturing Value Added as a proportion of GDP = (Manufacturing Value Added / GDP at market prices in current dollars) × 100

Manufacturing Value Added per capita = Manufacturing Value Added / Population
