This study analyses service sector in Brazil, Russia, India,Indonesia and China (BRIIC), which are five of the largest economies intoday’s developing world.

Furthermore, using structuraldecomposition analysis, this study investigates various aspects whichcontribute to the growth of services output, which are final domesticdemand, export, and changes in technology. The result suggests that inBRIIC economies, final domestic demand has been the main driver of thegrowth of services that exceeded more than 70% of overall effect in alleconomies.
