Prior to 2014 Alberta's manufacturing sector was one of the fastest
growing manufacturing sectors in the country as the value of sales more
than quadrupled between 1992 and 2014.
However, sales in this sector declined in 2015 and 2016 as a result of
slumping oil and gas investment which impacts a number of
manufacturing industries, especially metals and machinery.
Because of the recession real output (GDP) of Alberta's manufacturing
sector decreased seven per cent between 2011 and 2016.
The largest manufacturing sub-sectors on a GDP basis are processed
foods and beverages, chemicals, fabricated metals, industrial machinery,
refined petroleum products and wood products.
About one-fifth of manufacturing output consists of value-added
industrial products such as fabricated metals, machinery and electronics.
