Figure: Share of Energy Efficiency and Productivity in Manufacturing Sector GDP (2000–2020)
shows varied patterns across economies, with some demonstrating sustained industrial growth while others exhibiting structural transitions. Several economies show pronounced upward trajectories in manufacturing intensity. Bangladesh accelerated growth after 2005, coinciding with WTO accession and enhanced global integration. and integration into global manufacturing networks. manufacturing shares over time, reflecting established industrial systems.

This stability reflects established industrial foundations and technological sophistication. Meanwhile, Hong Kong maintains a consistently minimal manufacturing presence throughout the entire period, reinforcing its role as a financial and services hub. and advanced service economies completing deindustrialization transitions.
