Given is a bar chart clearly illustrating the proportion of Asia, Europe and the remainder of the world in terms of global production output in a 160-year period, commencing in 1840.
Overall, the figures for the remaining continents and Asia experienced an upward pattern, whilst that of Europe witnessed an opposite trend throughout the given timeframe. It is noticeable that in 1960, both Asia and Europe shared the same distribution in the percentage of world manufacture.
According to the provided set, 40% of world creation belongs to Asia, later witnessing a remarkable growth of roughly 5% from the sum of 45% in the next 80 years. Afterwards, this figure considerably declined to a staggering slightly under 30% at the end of the period. Likewise, the proportion of European world production output following a similar increasing trend that 1960 was seen a substantial increase of nearly 30% from 10% in 1840 to a whopping approximately 38% which shared the same proportion of Asian one in the same year. Then, this later gradually dropped to above 30% in 2000.
By contrast, the rest of the world had a different pattern in the percentage of global manufacture. The figure for this initially reached a peak of 50%, which later significantly plummeted to minimally under 20% in 1920. Followed by a rebound of approximately 25% at the end of the timeframe, still commanding the highest distribution compared to other categories.
