Output by industry is a gross measure of the total sales of each industry sector in the FNQROC. It does not measure how productive each industry sector is at producing this output - which is measured by value added.
By comparing the output of each industry sector to a regional benchmark, you can clearly see the structure of the FNQROC’s economy. This can be done by directly comparing the percentage contribution of each industry to the total output, relative to the benchmark, or by using a location quotient, where a number greater than one indicates a high concentration of that industry and less than one indicates a lower concentration.
To get the full picture how each industry sector contributes to the regional or state economy, output data should be viewed alongside the other industry characteristics in the Industry sector analysis section.
Detailed data notes about how the figures are derived can be found in the specific topic notes section.
The gross measure of output includes the value of all the inputs to each industry.

Dominant groups
An analysis of the output by industry sectors in the FNQROC in 2022/23 shows the three largest industries were:
- Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing ($4,083 million or 11.7%)
- Construction ($4,051 million or 11.6%)
- Transport, Postal and Warehousing ($3,918 million or 11.2%)
In combination these three industries accounted for $12,051 million in total or 34.5% of the total output by total industry in the the FNQROC.
In comparison, the same 3 industries in Queensland accounted for 4.0% in Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing; 13.3% in Construction and 7.9% in Transport, Postal and Warehousing.
The major differences between output by industries of the FNQROC and Queensland were:
- A larger percentage of output by Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing (11.7% compared to 4.0%)
- A smaller percentage of output by Mining (6.5% compared to 13.6%)
- A larger percentage of output by Transport, Postal and Warehousing (11.2% compared to 7.9%)
- A smaller percentage of output by Financial and Insurance Services (1.9% compared to 4.6%)
Emerging groups
The total industry output in the FNQROC decreased by $-1,204 million between 2017/18 and 2022/23.
