Industry is the sector of

the economy concerned
with the production of
goods and services.
2
Industry has 4 sectors...
Primary Secondary
Tertiary Quaternary 3
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. 4
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.
* Aerospace manufacturing
* Automobile manufacturing
* Brewing industry
* Chemical industry
* Clothing industry
* Electronics
* Engineering
* Energy industries
* Metalworking
* Steel production
* Software engineering
* Telecommunications
Industry
* Tobacco industry
This sector is often divided into light industry and heavy industry.
5
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.

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.
7
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.

• 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.
