The two pie charts delineate the percentage contributions of different industry sectors to Turkey’s economy in the years 2000 and 2016.
At the onset of the period, agriculture stood as the most substantial economic sector, while construction made the smallest contribution. However, by the end of the period, healthcare and education emerged as the largest economic segments, whereas financial, business, and other services accounted for the smallest share.
In 2000, the construction sector constituted a mere 3% of Turkey’s economy, but this proportion surged more than threefold to 10% by 2016. Conversely, economic output from trade, utilities, and transportation witnessed a modest growth of 2% over the same period, increasing from 14% to 16%. Manufacturing and finance, business, and other services experienced notable increases, rising from 8% to 12% and from 5% to 8% respectively.
Agriculture, which accounted for almost a quarter of Turkey’s economy in 2000, decreased to 14% by 2016. Additionally, economic outputs from government and leisure and hospitality sectors both decreased by 3% over the 16-year period, settling at 9% and 14% respectively. Conversely, the contribution from the healthcare and education sector remained constant at 17% throughout both years.
