SECTORS OF INDUSTRY

SECTORS OF INDUSTRY
2
Industry is the sector of the economy concerned
with the production of goods and services.
3
Industry has 4 sectors...
Primary
Secondary
Quaternary
Tertiary
4
Major businesses in this sector include
agriculture, fishing, forestry and all mining and
quarrying industries
The primary sector of industry is also called
extraction. It generally involves changing
natural resources into primary products. Most
products from this sector are considered raw
materials for other industries.
Primary industry is a larger sector in developing
countries for instance, animal husbandry is more
common in Africa than in Japan.
5
The secondary sector (manufacturing) produces
finished, usable products. This sector of
industry generally takes the output of the
primary sector and manufactures finished goods or
where they are suitable for use by other
businesses, for export, or sale to domestic
consumers.

This sector is often divided into light industry
and heavy industry.

The tertiary sector of industry is also known as
the service sector or the service industry. It
involves the provision of services to businesses
as well as final consumers. Services may involve
the transport, distribution and sale of goods
from producer to a consumer, or may involve the
provision of a service, such as in pest control
or entertainment.

Goods may be transformed in the process of
providing a service, as happens in the restaurant
industry or in equipment repair. However, the
focus is on people interacting with people and
serving the customer rather than transforming
physical goods
7
The quaternary sector is the research industry.
Industrial research looks for new ways to cut
costs, find new markets, produce new ideas, new
production methods and methods of manufacture.
8
The 4 Sectors of Industry are interrelated. An
individual industry will often use more than one
sector in order to produce products. On the
next slide we will see an example of how the four
sectors relate together in the production of
cotton clothes, part of the fashion industry.

ways of processing or growing cotton. e.g.
organic cotton.

Diagrammatic representations

• Different ways!

20
What is happening in a country now?

• One of the common ways to show this is by a pie
  chart.
• We only graph the primary, secondary and tertiary
  sectors because quaternary are insignificant in
  many countries.

Dont worry if you dont we will look at this
again next week in more detail
Do you see any patterns?

  graphs
• Primary E is between 50 60. What?
• Secondary C is between 20 30. What?
• Tertiary D is between 30 40. What?
