Industry refers to a sector of the economy that is involved in the production of goods or services. It encompasses a wide range of businesses and activities that transform raw materials into finished products or deliver services to consumers. Industries are typically categorized into primary (extraction of raw materials, such as agriculture and mining), secondary (manufacturing and processing), and tertiary (services, such as retail, healthcare, and education) sectors. Each industry can be characterized by its methods of production, the workforce required, levels of technology, and its market dynamics. The term is also used to describe the collective entities and workforce within a specific field, such as the film industry or the technology industry, indicating a focus on a particular area of economic activity. Industries play a crucial role in economic development, job creation, and societal growth.
