Uganda's industry, including construction, value added (current LCU) was 55.31 trillion in 2025, the latest year in the World Bank's World Development Indicators. That is up 122.77% from 24.83 trillion in 2015 (8.34% a year on average, compounded).

What the numbers say
In 2025, Uganda's industry, including construction, value added (current LCU) rose 9.2% on 2024 (from 50.65 trillion to 55.31 trillion).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was +17.3% and a typical year strayed about 19.2% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.4 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 223.6% in 1981 and the biggest yearly fall was 18.3% in 1978. 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 3.18 trillion a year. A straight line explains 99% of the movement over 10 observed years.
Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.
A straight-line projection, tested first
Extending that straight line gives about 62.34 trillion for 2028. We show this only because the same method, fitted on earlier years, predicted 2023 to 2025 better than "no change" would have: its average miss was 3.45 trillion, against 7.47 trillion for assuming no change. Treat it as a continuation of the recent pattern, not a forecast of events: it cannot see a recession, a policy change or a revision to the data.

How it compares
In 2025, Uganda had the 21st highest value of the 158 economies reporting that year. Higher is not always better: for some indicators the lowest value is the one to aim for. See the full ranking.

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 current prices, meaning no adjustment has been made to account for price changes over time. This series is expressed in local currency units.
