Indicator 9.3.1 Proportion of small-scale industries in total industry value added

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

Target 9.3: Increase the access of small-scale industrial and other enterprises, in particular in developing countries, to financial services, including affordable credit, and their integration into value chains and markets

Indicator 9.3.1: Proportion of small-scale industries in total industry value added

Small-scale industrial enterprises, in the SDG framework also called “small-scale industries”, defined here for the purpose of statistical data collection and compilation refer to statistical units, generally enterprises, engaged in production of goods and services for market below a designated size class.

According to the World Bank, Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) are defined as follow:

– micro enterprises: 1–9 employees;
- small: 10–49 employees;
- and medium: 50–249 employees.

Proportion of “small-scale industries” in total industry value added represents an indicator calculating the share of manufacturing value added of small-scale manufacturing enterprises in the total manufacturing value added.

The proportion of “small-scale industries” in total value added is an indicator calculated as a share of value added for small-scale manufacturing enterprises in total manufacturing value added: Manufactured value added of “small-scale industries” / Total Manufacturing value added

Manufactured value added is production less consumption.

Production = (Revenue from goods manufactured + (Closing inventories, goods or work in process + Closing inventories, finished goods manufactured) - (Opening inventories, goods or work in process + Opening inventories, finished goods manufactured))

Consumption = (Opening inventories, raw materials + Cost of materials and supplies + Total cost of energy, water utility and vehicle fuel - Closing inventories of raw materials)
