How to read this number

The value added of the manufacturing sector (factories making goods; ISIC divisions 10–33) as a share of GDP. Value added is the output of a sector after subtracting the goods and services it buys from other sectors.

Manufacturing is only one part of industry, so this share is smaller than the industry share of the economy, which also includes mining, construction and utilities. It is a share of the economy, not a size: a small country can have a high share and still make few goods overall.
