Quaternary
Major businesses in this sector include
agriculture, fishery, forestry and all
mining and quarrying industries
1. 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, 4

animal husbandry is more common in Africa than in Japan.
2. 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
3. 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.

4. 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.

Different ways!

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.
20
Besides pie charts …
 Employment can
be demonstrated
on triangular
graphs
 Primary: E is
between 50% &
60%. What?
 Secondary: C is
between 20% &
30%. What?
 Tertiary: D is

40%. What?
