In 2024, the agricultural sector in Poland reached 2.6 percent of the value added to the country's gross domestic product (GDP). The share has significantly decreased over the observed period. However, it is still higher than the European Union average.

In 2024, the industrial sector contributed approximately **** percent to the overall gross domestic product (GDP) of Taiwan. This share has been largely stable since 2014. Taiwan’s total GDP was estimated at around *** billion U.S. dollars in 2024. Taiwan’s GDP composition in comparison Like other East Asian countries such as South Korea and Japan, Taiwan maintains a strong industrial sector. This is due to a focus on high-tech production and a deep integration into global value chains, which enables the industrial sector to generate high economic growth rates. Taiwan is an important exporter of electronic products and the largest producer of advanced computer chips in the world. In contrast, many other developed economies such as the U.S. and EU member states have a significantly smaller manufacturing sector and put a stronger emphasis on services. Relevant economic sub-sectors Corresponding to Taiwan’s export-oriented economy, wholesale and retail trade is the most important service sub-sector of the economy. Finance and insurance accounted for less than seven percent of the total value added. A similar sector distribution is reflected in the sectoral employment structure. Both the distribution of value added, and the employment structure have been comparatively stable over the last decade.

Characterized by emerging countries and dynamic economic activities, the region plays a key role in the global economy. China, the most populous country after India, and the second largest economy on the planet, accounted for about half of the total gross domestic product (GDP) in APAC as of 2023. The GDP growth in China was characterized by high rates for decades. Following the COVID-19 pandemic, the country has struggled to catch up with the previous level of growth rates and was forecast to stay at more modest real GDP growth rates in the coming years.  A new paradigm of development in the Asia-Pacific region Even though the Asia-Pacific region has made significant economic improvements in the last decades, from a developmental perspective, tackling existing socio-economic issues will be critical for future growth. An aspect worth mentioning is the GDP per capita in the region. EU countries, for example, had about ***** times as much GDP per capita compared to East Asia and the Pacific region in 2022. China has been working towards changing its economic focus to high-tech and service sectors while reducing its concentration on agriculture.
