What the numbers say
In 2024, Tonga's manufacturing, value added (constant LCU) rose 20.6% on 2023 (from 52.42 million to 63.22 million).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1994 to 2023), the average change was −0.5% and a typical year strayed about 6% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 3.5 standard deviations above that average, so it was unusually large compared with the rest of the record.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 74% in 1981 and the biggest yearly fall was 21.9% in 2022. 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 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 2% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.

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.
