Complete common-year animation
Annual manufacturing value added by economy
All ten economies have positive values for the complete common-year window 2004–2021. The chart opens on the latest complete common year, 2021; pressing Play at 2021 restarts from 2004.
2021
Comparison boundary：The United States is missing for 2022–2025 and Japan is also missing for 2025; those years stay out of the ranking until all ten economies are available.

Definition
What value added measures
Manufacturing value added measures newly created value after intermediate inputs—the core flow for industry’s contribution. It is not gross industrial output, firm revenue or export value. China’s official yuan series and the World Bank current-dollar comparison answer related but different questions.
Why values differ
Currency, revisions and update timing
World Bank current-dollar values and China’s official yuan figures diverge because of exchange rates, revision timing, price concepts and database update cycles. The page keeps the yuan official value and the dollar comparison separate instead of inventing one “true” number.
Common mistake
Do not mix incompatible rulers
Do not compare manufacturing value added directly with gross industrial output, goods exports or above-scale industrial growth rates. For country scale, prefer one international dataset edition; for China’s domestic structure, prefer NBS definitions with the year shown.
Reading guide
Check these before citing manufacturing figures
Yuan or US dollars?
Domestic level and structure discussions usually use official yuan values; cross-country charts often use current dollars, where exchange rates move relative ranks.
Value added or gross output?
Value added nets out intermediate inputs. Treating gross output or exports as “manufacturing size” can badly distort comparisons.
Which price basis is the growth on?
Real growth and current-price levels are not interchangeable. Keep growth notes attached to their source concept.
Is there a common year?
International bars should only compare economies that share a year; missing values stay missing.
