What the numbers say
In 2025, Eswatini's industry, including construction, value added (constant LCU) rose 2.2% on 2024 (from 25.36 billion to 25.91 billion).

On record, the biggest yearly rise was 55.4% in 1987 and the biggest yearly fall was 10.3% in 2020. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2016 to 2025 the straight-line trend is upward, about 432.95 million a year. A straight line explains 66% of the movement over 10 observed years.

What this measures
Industry (including construction) corresponds to ISIC (Rev.4) divisions 05-43. It is comprised of mining, manufacturing, construction, electricity, water, and gas industries. Value added is the contribution to the economy by a producer or an industry or an institutional sector, which is estimated by the total value of output produced and deducting the total value of intermediate consumption of goods and services used to produce that output. This indicator is expressed in constant prices, meaning the series has been adjusted to account for price changes over time. The reference year for this adjustment varies by country. This series is expressed in local currency units.
