Key Industrial Sectors
Hydropower and electricity
Albania generates almost all of its electricity from hydropower, led by the Drin River cascade in the north; the sector is the backbone of national industry and a magnet for foreign investment in new plants, transmission lines and grid upgrades.
Mining and metals
Chromite and copper ore from the Bulqizë and Mirdita districts, together with ferrochrome smelting, are the country's traditional export earners; output feeds stainless-steel and alloy producers across Europe and Asia.
Food and beverage processing
Olive oil, wine, dairy, canned fish and bottled water are processed for domestic supermarkets and for export to Italy, Greece and the wider EU, with production concentrated around Tirana, Durrës and Vlorë.
Textiles, footwear and leather goods
Italian and German brands outsource cut-make-trim garment and shoe production to Albanian factories in Tirana, Durrës and Korçë, making apparel one of the largest manufacturing employers and exporters. The sector stays competitive on small, flexible orders for European fashion houses.
Construction materials and cement
Cement, aggregates and steel rebar are produced for a fast-growing domestic construction market and for regional export, with plants clustered near Tirana, Durrës and the port of Vlorë. Rapid urban development and tourism projects keep domestic demand strong.
