This study aims to analyze economic growth patterns and structural transformation in Southeast Sulawesi during 2015–2025. The study used a descriptive quantitative approach with secondary data from Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by business sector. The analytical methods applied were Location Quotient (LQ) and Shift Share. The results show that the mining and quarrying sector, agriculture, forestry and fisheries sector, construction sector, and several service sectors are categorized as basic sectors. Meanwhile, the manufacturing industry sector remains a non-basic sector despite showing an increasing trend. Shift Share analysis indicates that the manufacturing industry sector has the highest competitive advantage due to the development of nickel downstream industries. Overall, Southeast Sulawesi is experiencing a gradual structural transformation from a primary-sector-based economy toward a more diversified economy through the strengthening of manufacturing industries and modern service sectors.
