UNIDO Statistics publishes a series of quarterly reports and monthly infographics about current growth trends of the world manufacturing production, which is based on the index numbers of industrial production (IIP) collected from national data sources. The main objective of these reports is to provide an overview of the current growth trends of the world manufacturing production by country groups and major sectors.

This document describes the methodology followed to obtain the UNIDO country groups by stage of industrial development. It also presents the resulting country groups that are presented in all products from UNIDO Statistics during 2024, including its statistical databases and the forthcoming International Yearbook of Industrial Statistics 2024.
