1 INVESTMENT POLICY AND PROMOTION WEEK A fresh look at manufacturing and tools for increasing value addition Vienna October 15, 215

2 Billions Why does manufacturing matter? Capturing value Manufactures account for almost 65% of total world trade in goods. Excluding oil, this jumps to three quarters of global trade in goods. Why it matters Responds to a basic human need: when we are unable to find what we need in nature, we make it. Lies at the heart of economic development: to add value to products so as to capture more of the final profits of the end product, generating jobs and income in the process. The draw of value addition Global trade in all products (top 2 plus other, US$) 2, 18, 16, 14, 12, 1, 8, 6, 4, 2, Other Paper Misc. chemicals Rubber Apparel (not knitted) Apparel (knitted) Furniture Ores & slag Unclassified commodities Articles of iron & steel Planes & parts Iron & steel Organic chemicals Pharmaceuticals Optical equiment Plastics Gold & diamonds Cars & parts Computers & misc. machines Electronics & phones Oil Source: Trade Map, International Trade Commission: 2

3 Why does manufacturing matter? Advancing through the product space The social accumulation of productive knowledge has not been a universal phenomenon Where it has happened, it has underpinned an incredible increase in living standards The enormous income gaps between rich and poor nations are an expression of the vast differences in productive knowledge amassed bydifferent nations. These differences are expressed in the diversity and sophistication ofthe things that each of them makes Tracking Korea s industrial transformation through the product space Increase in chemicals & pharma Decrease in textile & apparel Increase in automotive Source: Hausmann, R. & Hidalgo, C. et al.

11 Building on momentum, igniting change Where a country has an established foothold, this can be built on further, to grow the sector and increase value addition. For countries that have shown few signs of making a headway in manufacturing, the examples of sectors where similar countries have made progress can serve as encouragement and impetus for change. Growth momentum: Country-sector combinations Select developing and emerging market countries / country groupings Top 15 manufactures in which country is notpresent (i.e. everything but) Notes: Country or region selection based largely from top 1 presence in the major 15 manufactures, assessed by value or grow th. Exceptions: Eastern Europe depicts products in w hich two or more of Bulgaria, Lithuania, Poland and Romania are present; Central and Latin America apparel depicts a combination of high grow th Nicaragua, Guatemala, El Salvador and Brazil aircraft w ith is 11 th ranked by value.
