What are some? Is there a definitive list of the largest industries in the world, when we think in an abstract sense (i.e. energy, transportation, communications)?

Or maybe a list that aims to encompass all major industries via abstraction? i.e. WhatsApp and Starlink could be layers in the “communications” bucket.
