Here is updated data from the UN on manufacturing output by country. China continues to grow amazingly moving into second place for 2006. UN Data, in billions of current US dollars:

Country 1990 2000 2004 2005 2006
USA 1,040 1,543 1,545 1,629 1,725
China 143 484 788 939 1096
Japan 808 1,033 962 954 929
Germany 437 392 559 584 620
Italy 240 206 295 291 313
United Kingdom 207 230 283 283 308
France 223 190 256 253 275
Brazil 117 120 130 172 231
Korea 65 134 173 199 216
Canada 92 129 165 188 213
Additional countries of interest – not the next largest
Mexico 50 107 111 122 136
India 50 67 100 118 130
Indonesia 29 46 72 79 103
Turkey 33 38 75 92 100


The UN provided data separating out manufacturing from mining and utilities so the data above is just for manufacturing as was the manufacturing data for 2005 (two years included all 3 categories together, see: Global Manufacturing Data by Country. The tables includes the top 10 countries and some additional countries. This data cannot be seen as perfectly accurate. There is a fair amount of error within the data (and you will notice some of the data fluctuates when you look back at previous posts for output for years in the past), still it provides a useful view of global manufacturing activity.

    There is little change in most of the data from last year, which I think is a good sign, it wouldn’t make much sense to have radical shifts over a year in these rankings…
