Brunei’s manufacturing sector's GDP contribution fluctuated, from 11.1% in 1990, peaking at 22.1% by 2022. The sector's growth accelerated notably after 2015, reaching 18.5% in 2021, driven by oil and gas-related manufacturing. Brunei's economy, highly reliant on energy exports, saw manufacturing expansion in line with energy investments, which bolstered GDP despite some sectoral volatility. The sector's 2022 peak reflects strategic efforts to diversify its industrial base, though it remains energy-dependent.
