What the numbers say
In 2025, Iraq's manufacturing, value added (constant LCU) fell 10.6% on 2024 (from 5.93 trillion to 5.3 trillion).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was +4.5% and a typical year strayed about 16.3% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.9 standard deviations below that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 913.1% in 1980 and the biggest yearly fall was 61.9% in 1991. 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 447.6 billion a year. A straight line explains 85% of the movement over 10 observed years.

What this measures
Manufacturing includes industries classified in ISIC (Rev. 3) major division C and is defined as the physical or chemical transformation of materials or components into new products. 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.
