This study aims to identify leading sectors and non leading sectors and analyze the potential of non leading sectors in South Sulawesi. This research method uses Location Quotient (LQ) to measure sector concentration relative to the national level and Klassen Typology to classify economic sectors based on growth dynamics and regional economic contribution. This research utilizes data from the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS) of Indonesia and South Sulawesi covering the years 2019-2023. The results show that sectors such as agriculture, forestry, fisheries, construction, wholesale and retail trade, financial and insurance services, education services, and health services and social activities are leading sectors with significant comparative advantages. In contrast, sectors such as mining, manufacturing, transportation, warehousing, accommodation and food services, and information and communication have the potential to be further developed with appropriate investment and supportive policies. Strategies to develop non-lead sectors include increased investment in technology and infrastructure, human resource development, and the provision of strong policy support. These developments are critical to diversifying the economy and achieving sustainable growth in South Sulawesi.
