The U.S. manufacturing sector plays a central role in the economy, accounting for 20% of U.S. capital investment, 60% of the nation's exports and 70% of business R&D. Overall, the sector's market size, measured in terms of revenue is worth roughly $6 trillion, making it a major industry to do business with. So which U.S. states are the biggest for manufacturing? This article will explore the nation's top manufacturing states, measured by number of employees, based on MNI's database of 400,000 U.S. manufacturing companies.

The statistic shows the growth rate of the real gross domestic product (GDP) in Japan from 2020 to 2024, with projections up until 2030. In 2023, Japan's GDP increased by 1.49 percent compared to the previous year. For comparison, the GDP growth rate of China had reached about 8.45 percent that same year.Gross domestic product growth rate in JapanGDP serves as one of the most heavily relied upon indicators to gauge the state and health of a country’s economy. GDP is the total market value of all final goods and services that have been produced within a nation’s borders in a given period of time, usually a year. GDP figures allow a more fundamental understanding of a country’s economy. Year-on-year GDP growth acts as a helpful and clear sign of the direction in which a country is moving in economic terms. Real GDP is especially useful and insightful as it takes price changes (inflation and deflation) into account.The gross domestic product growth rate in Japan has been shaky since the recession of 2008 struck the world economy like a bolt out of the blue and Japan is still yet to gain a solid foothold. Despite its ongoing financial predicament however, Japan remains one of the world’s most highly developed economies. The economy of Japan is the third largest worldwide by nominal GDP and the nation has a very active manufacturing sector. It is active in the auto manufacturing sector, the third largest in the world after the United States and China, and has an electronics industry that is counted among the worlds most innovative. Japan can boast many titles, but perhaps the most significant to its future stability is that which relates to its astronomical national debts, currently running at over 200 percent of GDP, roughly 10.5 trillion US dollars.

During 1998, in line with other European Union (EU) member states, the UK adopted the new European System of Accounts (ESA 95), to be used by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) for the production of financial data. In September 1998 the UK National Accounts were published for the first time using ESA95. Under this system, ONS is required to compile more detailed regional economic information than was previously the case and now produces regional Gross Value Added (GVA - formerly Gross Domestic Product or GDP, to which some series still refer), regional Household Accounts and regional Gross Fixed Capital Formation. Most Regional Accounts data are now consistent with ESA95 - users should refer to the information in the 'Main Topics' section below, and the documentation.
Regional Accounts data are compiled mainly from the UK National Accounts (Blue Book), the New Earnings Survey (NES) and the Annual Business Inquiry (ABI 2).

For the 8th edition (December 2002), data files covering Gross Value Added (GVA - formerly GDP) by GOR, Industry, Manufacturing Class and other tables were added to the dataset. On 10th December 2002, however, ONS withdrew the 8th edition GVA data files, due to errors discovered in the data.


Main Topics:

PART I: Regional Gross Value Added (GVA - formerly GDP) up to 1998/1999 - European System of Accounts 1995 (ESA95) basis.
Files:
1. GVA by Government Office Region (GOR) 1989-1999: file gvagor8999 (withdrawn - see 'Abstract' section for details).
2. GVA by industry 1989-1999: file gvaind8999 (withdrawn).
3. GVA by manufacturing class 1989-1999: file gvamanclass8999 (withdrawn).
4. GVA 1989-1999 (various tables): file gva8999 (withdrawn).

Due to the withdrawal of GVA data, the following GDP data are also available, but users should bear in mind the age of these data when conducting analysis:
1. GDP by GOR 1989-1999: file gpdgor8999.
2. GDP by Industry 1989-1998: file gdpind8998.
3. GDP by Manufacturing Class 1989-1998: file gpdmancls8998.

PART II: ESA95 Regional household (total and disposable) income up to 1999, consumption expenditure up to 1999.
Files:
1. Regional household income (total and disposable) basic breakdown of income type 1989-1999 by GOR: file hhacc8999.
