 == What is Industry<ref>What is the Meaning of Industry? [https://www.definitions.net/definition/industry Definitions]</ref> ==
-Industry is the production of an economic good or service within an economy. Manufacturing industry became a key sector of production and labour in European and North American countries during the Industrial Revolution, upsetting previous mercantile and feudal economies. This occurred through many successive rapid advances in technology, such as the production of steel and coal. Following the Industrial Revolution, perhaps a third of the world's economic output is derived from manufacturing industries. Many developed countries and many developing/semi-developed countries depend significantly on industry. Industries, the countries they reside in, and the economies of those countries are interlinked in a complex web of interdependence.

 == Industry Categorizations<ref>How are Industries Categorized? [https://corporatefinanceinstitute.com/resources/knowledge/economics/industry/ CFI]</ref> ==
 Industries are organized under different categories. The categories are grouped as to whether they are heavy or light, domestic or foreign, durable or non-durable, or manufacturing or construction industries.
-*Heavy vs Light: This category describes how much [[Capital|capital]] is required to set up a business in the industry. The heavy industry includes businesses that often employ a capital-intensive production process that requires a large initial investment, such as for operating equipment and machinery. Examples that fall under the heavy category would be most natural resource harvesting sectors, such as steel, coal, and other mining-related sectors. Other sectors that are considered heavy are the aviation sector or the automobile sector. Conversely, a light industry sector would have much lower capital requirements for a business to set up. However, these sectors usually have labor-intensive production processes. For example, the restaurant sector would be light because most of its operating processes require labor as opposed to machinery.

For example, the restaurant sector would be light because most of its operating processes require labor as opposed to machinery.
 *Domestic vs Foreign: This category describes whether the sector operates and produces goods and services within a certain country’s borders. This classification is from the perspective of that country. A country’s domestic industries are those that are located within its borders. For example, the United States of America maintains a domestic coal sector that is composed of all coal-related production activities within the US. In contrast, foreign sectors are those that are not located within a country’s borders. Using the same example, all coal-related production activities that are outside the United States constitute the foreign coal sector.
 *Durable vs Non-durable: This category describes whether the sector produces goods that last a significant amount of time and amortize over long periods. A durable industry is one that produces goods that last a long time. For example, the automobile and aviation sectors both produce goods (cars and planes) that will be used regularly and maintained over many years. Alternatively, a non-durable sector produces goods that usually do not last very long, require immediate consumption, and are perishable. The agricultural industry would be a good example of a non-durable sector, as they produce food that easily perishes if it is not stored appropriately.

 Although generally four levels of industry are discussed, advanced books classify industry into five levels. The terms for each level originate from Latin words referring to the numbers one to five.
 *Primary (first): Primary industries are those that extract or produce raw materials from which useful items can be made. Extraction of raw materials includes mining activities, forestry, and fishing. Agriculture is also considered a primary industry as it produces “raw materials” that require further processing for human use.
