World Bank, World Development Indicators, NV.IND.MANF.ZS (CC BY 4.0); the United States from the Bureau of Economic Analysis, GDP by Industry (Palanor calculation; the World Bank’s U.S. series stops earlier). The World Bank’s data start in 1991 for Germany and 2004 for China, and BEA’s in 1997. Shares are of nominal GDP. Brazil’s line has breaks where its national accounts were revised.

Manufacturing’s share of Brazil’s economy has fallen by about two thirds since the early 1980s. The chart sets it beside the United States, China, Germany, Mexico and India on the same measure.
