Three decades ago, when UNIDO’s International Yearbook of Industrial Statistics was first published, the global industrial landscape was different from today. High-income economies, the so-called “industrialized world”, dominated manufacturing production, and the majority of manufacturing was still in lower-technology sectors, such as food products, fabricated metal goods and petroleum-related products. It was a time when manufacturing industries were still widely defined by high smokestacks and polluting processes. Today, however, even these traditional, backbone sectors of industry are dominated and defined by technological innovation and constant change as the world adapts to a dawning new era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
