Togo: Manufacturing, value added (current US$)

Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2024, Togo's manufacturing, value added (current US$) rose 5.6% on 2023 (from US$1.15 billion to US$1.22 billion).

Across the 16 yearly changes before that (2008 to 2023), the average change was +3.8% and a typical year strayed about 13.7% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.1 standard deviations above 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 35.3% in 2013 and the biggest yearly fall was 17.2% in 2015. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.

From 2015 to 2024 the straight-line trend is upward, about US$42.65 million a year. A straight line explains 87% 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 current prices, meaning no adjustment has been made to account for price changes over time. This indicator is expressed in United States dollars.

Limitations: In establishing classifications systems compilers must define both the types of activities to be described and the units whose activities are to be reported. There are many possibilities, and the choices affect how the statistics can be interpreted and how useful they are in analyzing economic behavior. The ISIC emphasizes commonalities in the production process and is explicitly not intended to measure outputs (for which there is a newly developed Central Product Classification). Nevertheless, the ISIC views an activity as defined by "a process resulting in a homogeneous set of products."

Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a gap-filled total.
