What the Data Shows
U.S. GDP by industry is measured as BEA value added by broad industry group as a share of GDP in Q4 2025. The rows rank broad industries by their percentage contribution to total GDP. Finance, insurance, real estate, rental and leasing ranked first at 21.7% of GDP, ahead of professional and business services at 13.1%. The scope is quarterly because the directly traceable latest complete industry-share source frame is Q4 2025 rather than a calendar-year annual ranking.

Data notes & caveats
This is a quarterly industry-share page, not a 2025 annual industry page. Values are percentages of U.S. GDP, not current-dollar value-added amounts.
Methodology
Use BEA/FRED Value Added by Industry as a Percentage of GDP, Q4 2025, and rank broad industry groups by their reported percentage of GDP.
Source consistency notes
Rows use the same BEA GDP-by-industry percentage-of-GDP source family and quarter.
