Abstract
This article examines the importance of the industrial sector for the economic development of the world and each country individually. The authors explore the theory of three sectors and come to the conclusion that the development of the industrial sector helps to increase national income and improve the standard of living of the population. The article also notes that parallel Sustainable Development Goals or Green Economy Principles, also adopted by the UN, may indirectly have a negative impact on the state of industry, both in the world and in individual countries and regions.
