Djibouti GDP Composition by Sector

In 2023, Djibouti's GDP was heavily reliant on the transport, storage, and communication sector, which composed 28.41% of GDP, reflecting the country's strategic location and port facilities. Closely following were services at 27.88%, and wholesale, retail trade, restaurants, and hotels at 18.66%, underscoring significant contributions from the tertiary sector. The construction sector accounted for 13.95%, demonstrating robust infrastructure development. Meanwhile, mining, manufacturing, and utilities, along with agriculture, hunting, forestry, and fishing, contributed 7.85% and 3.26%, respectively, indicating a relatively minor role for the primary and secondary sectors.

Looking ahead, expect continued growth in transport, storage, and communication driven by logistics demand, as well as potential expansion in construction related to infrastructure development. Services and trade may further diversify but could face fluctuations based on regional trade dynamics and economic policies. Monitoring shifts in the mining and manufacturing sectors is also essential, given potential exploitation of natural resources.
