Industry Sectors

Industries can be classified into three main sectors:

- Primary

- Secondary

- Tertiary

Primary Sector

Industries that are involved in obtaining raw materials/natural resources from the earth.

These may include farming,

fishing and forestry.

Primary Sector

…coal mining, quarrying and drilling for oil.

Secondary Sector

Once raw materials have been extracted by primary sector industries, secondary industries are involved in the second stage of the production process.

Involves taking the raw materials and turning them into finished/semi-finished products.
