CHANGES IN COUNTRY MANUFACTURING OUTPUT, 1970-2015
Most countries have been
fairly stable in their manufacturing output over the past few decades, but
there have been some shifts since 1970. For example, in 1970, the top countries
were the United States, USSR, Japan, Germany, China, the United Kingdom,
France, Italy, and Canada (see Table 4). However, by 2015, the leaders had
shifted to China, the United States, Japan, Germany, South Korea, India, Italy,
the United Kingdom, and France.
