The provided bar graph outlines the percentage of manufacturing goods produce by Asia, Europe, and the rest of the world between 1840 and 2000.
Looking from an overall perspective, it is readily apparent that the manufacturing products of Asia was decreased, while there was significant growth in the total manufacturing production of Europe and the rest of the world.
As can be seen from the chart, the biggest proportion of goods were in Asia at the beginning of the period, at 50%. However, there was a rapid decline in manufacturing outputs from 50% to 20% during the eight decades. Despite this decline, over the final years (1969 and 2000), Asia experienced a resurgence, reaching approximately 25% output in 1960 and 46% in 2000. Also, this statistic showed the highest proportion of manufacturing products in Asia compared to others.
It is clearly observed that the least proportion of manufacturing goods was produced by the rest of the world in 1840, at 10%. However, there was a significant increase in manufacturing products from the rest of the world from 1840 until 1960. In 1960, the global output of Europe and the rest of the world was the equal proportion, each at almost 38%. In addition, the manufacturing of productions in Europe presented a slight growth during the 80 years, and reached a peak at 50%, before a decrease to 28%.
