This statistic provides a projection of the gross domestic product (GDP) of major megacities worldwide in 2030. As of this time, it is projected that the GDP of Tokyo, Japan, will reach 40 billion U.S. dollars.

The city of Paris in France had an estimated gross domestic product of 757.6 billion Euros in 2021, the most of any European city. Paris was followed by the spanish capital, Madrid, which had a GDP of 237.5 billion Euros, and the Irish capital, Dublin at 230 billion Euros. Milan, in the prosperous north of Italy, had a GDP of 228.4 billion Euros, 65 billion euros larger than the Italian capital Rome, and was the largest non-capital city in terms of GDP in Europe. The engine of Europe Among European countries, Germany had by far the largest economy, with a gross domestic product of over 4.18 trillion Euros. The United Kingdom or France have been Europe's second largest economy since the 1980s, depending on the year, with forecasts suggesting France will overtake the UK going into the 2020s. Germany however, has been the biggest European economy for some time, with five cities (Munich, Berlin, Hamburg, Stuttgart and Frankfurt) among the 15 largest European cities by GDP. Europe's largest cities In 2023, Moscow was the largest european city, with a population of nearly 12.7 million. Paris was the largest city in western Europe, with a population of over 11 million, while London was Europe's third-largest city at 9.6 million inhabitants.

This statistic shows the top ten cities in the world with the largest ratio of billionaire wealth to metro GDP in 2015. The combined wealth of billionaires in Geneva was 1.53 times greater than the GDP of the city in 2015.

The gross domestic product (GDP) of California was about 4.1 trillion U.S. dollars in 2024, meaning that it contributed the most out of any state to the country’s GDP in that year. In contrast, Vermont had the lowest GDP in the United States, with 45.71 billion U.S. dollars. What is GDP? Gross domestic product, or GDP, is the total monetary value of all goods and services produced by an economy within a certain time period. GDP is used by economists to determine the economic health of an area, as well as to determine the size of the economy. GDP can be determined for countries, states and provinces, and metropolitan areas. While GDP is a good measure of the absolute size of a country's economy and economic activity, it does account for many other factors, making it a poor indicator for measuring the cost or standard of living in a country, or for making cross-country comparisons. GDP of the United States The United States has the largest gross domestic product in the world as of 2023, with China, Japan, Germany, and India rounding out the top five. The GDP of the United States has almost quadrupled since 1990, when it was about 5.9 trillion U.S. dollars, to about 25.46 trillion U.S. dollars in 2022.

The U.S. manufacturing sector plays a central role in the economy, accounting for 20% of U.S. capital investment, 60% of the nation's exports and 70% of business R&D. Overall, the sector's market size, measured in terms of revenue is worth roughly $6 trillion, making it a major industry to do business with. So which U.S. states are the biggest for manufacturing? This article will explore the nation's top manufacturing states, measured by number of employees, based on MNI's database of 400,000 U.S. manufacturing companies.

This dataset provides values for GDP PER CAPITA reported in several countries. The data includes current values, previous releases, historical highs and record lows, release frequency, reported unit and currency.

According to a study by the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC), Paris was the city with the highest direct travel and tourism contribution to GDP in 2022. That year, the direct travel and tourism GDP in the capital of France - the country with the highest number of international tourist arrivals worldwide - amounted to roughly ***** billion U.S. dollars. Meanwhile, Beijing and Orlando followed on the ranking in 2022, with a direct travel and tourism GDP of around **** billion and **** billion U.S. dollars, respectively.

As of 2024, Mumbai had a gross domestic product of *** billion U.S. dollars, the highest among other major cities in India. It was followed by Delhi with a GDP of around *** billion U.S. dollars. India’s megacities also boast the highest GDP among other cities in the country. What drives the GDP of India’s megacities? Mumbai is the financial capital of the country, and its GDP growth is primarily fueled by the financial services sector, port-based trade, and the Hindi film industry or Bollywood. Delhi in addition to being the political hub hosts a significant services sector. The satellite cities of Noida and Gurugram amplify the city's economic status. The southern cities of Bengaluru and Chennai have emerged as IT and manufacturing hubs respectively. Hyderabad is a significant player in the pharma and IT industries. Lastly, the western city of Ahmedabad, in addition to its strategic location and ports, is powered by the textile, chemicals, and machinery sectors. Does GDP equal to quality of life? Cities propelling economic growth and generating a major share of GDP is a global phenomenon, as in the case of Tokyo, Shanghai, New York, and others. However, the GDP, which measures the market value of all final goods and services produced in a region, does not always translate to a rise in quality of life. Five of India’s megacities featured in the Global Livability Index, with low ranks among global peers. The Index was based on indicators such as healthcare, political stability, environment and culture, infrastructure, and others.

As per Cognitive Market Research's latest published report, the Global High Rise Elevators market size will be $42.89 Billion by 2029. High Rise Elevators Industry's Compound Annual Growth Rate will be 3.35% from 2023 to 2030.

Asia Pacific High Rise Elevators market size will be USD 24.08 Billion by 2029.

What are the key factors affceting the High Rise Elevators market?

Growing construction of high-rise buildings

The global building & construction industry is particularly creating a positive impact and this industry is expected to grow above global gross domestic product (GDP) growth over the next decade. The building and construction sectors are some of the largest sectors in the world economy.

Building & construction industry spending worldwide amounted to 11.4 trillion U.S. dollars. Building & construction expenditures are expected to reach 14 trillion U.S. dollars in 2025. With this increase in growth in the construction industry, the construction of high-rise buildings has increased.

Additionally, continuous economic growth in various emerging and developed countries is adding lucrative financing deals with low-interest rates, which is anticipated to boost the revenues of the residential building sector. According to the study, as compared to 2019, new house construction projects in the private sector in the United States increased by more than 10% in 2020.

Furthermore, the increased construction of skyscrapers in many large and medium-sized cities. According to the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat, 84 percent of the world's skyscrapers over 200 meters have been built in the last 20 years. Similarly, the survey discovered that 23 tall structures were constructed in 2000, while 126 tall buildings were finished in 2019.

The following is a list of countries with the most completed buildings over 150 meters (492 ft) tall, as of 1 May 2022.

The rising construction of high-rise buildings required elevators. Elevators provide efficient vertical mobility, which is a vital component of tall structures. This mobility gadget makes it possible to easily reach multiple levels or floors of a multi-story structure. An elevator can transport people and heavy things from one floor to another by moving up and down. Elevators or lifts are now increasingly prevalent around the world, and many people prefer them to stairs.

As result, the growing construction of high-rise buildings drives the growth of the high-rise elevator market.

Introduction of High rise Elevator

High-rise buildings have more than 12 stories and may necessitate customized designs for managing car arrangements with single, double, and super double deck solutions, as well as lobby arrangements. A skyscraper is an extremely tall high-rise structure. These structures are tall enough to need the installation of a mechanical vertical transportation system.

The elevator is the primary mode of vertical transportation in a high-rise building. It is propelled by an electric motor that raises and lowers the cab by wire ropes in a vertical shaft. Each elevator cab is additionally engaged by vertical guide tracks and is attached to a flexible electric line that supplies electricity for illumination, door operation, and signal transmission.

Elevators in high-rise buildings are designed with a variety of criteria in mind, including the kind of occupancy, speed, size, traffic flow, total vertical distance, and duration of the journey to the destination. Other considerations include safety, quality, capacity, and the type of building in which the elevator will be utilized.

These elevators are available in a variety of configurations, including double-deck lifts, 2-car lifts, shuttle lifts & sky lobbies, ropeless elevators, and others. These lifts can be both passenger and freight elevators. In both residential and commercial structures, high-rise elevators are employed.

Currently, with the growing urbanization, the construction of high-rise buildings is increased. This raises the demand for high-rise elevators all over the world.

This statistic shows the top ten cities in the world with the largest "super-rich wealth gap" in 2015. Bangalore had the largest wealth gap in 2015 with the wealth of billionaires 646,407 times that of the average per capita GDP.

Out of all 50 states, New York had the highest per-capita real gross domestic product (GDP) in 2024, at 92,341 U.S. dollars, followed closely by Massachusetts. Mississippi had the lowest per-capita real GDP, at 41,603 U.S. dollars. While not a state, the District of Columbia had a per capita GDP of more than 210,780 U.S. dollars. What is real GDP? A country’s real GDP is a measure that shows the value of the goods and services produced by an economy and is adjusted for inflation. The real GDP of a country helps economists to see the health of a country’s economy and its standard of living. Downturns in GDP growth can indicate financial difficulties, such as the financial crisis of 2008 and 2009, when the U.S. GDP decreased by 2.5 percent. The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on U.S. GDP, shrinking the economy 2.8 percent. The U.S. economy rebounded in 2021, however, growing by nearly six percent. Why real GDP per capita matters Real GDP per capita takes the GDP of a country, state, or metropolitan area and divides it by the number of people in that area. Some argue that per-capita GDP is more important than the GDP of a country, as it is a good indicator of whether or not the country’s population is getting wealthier, thus increasing the standard of living in that area. The best measure of standard of living when comparing across countries is thought to be GDP per capita at purchasing power parity (PPP) which uses the prices of specific goods to compare the absolute purchasing power of a countries currency.

In 2023, Puerto Rico and The Bahamas were the states with the highest gross domestic product (GDP) per capita in Latin America and the Caribbean. The average GDP generated per person in the Bahamas amounted to 34,749 U.S. dollars, whereas the average wealth created per capita in Puerto Rico was estimated at around 34,749 U.S. dollars. In that same year, this region's lowest GDP per capita was that of Haiti, at less than 1,693 U.S. dollars per person per year. The largest economies in Latin America GDP is the total value of all goods and services produced in a country in a year. It is an important indicator to measure the economic strength of a country and the average wealth of its population. By far, the two largest economies in the region are Brazil and Mexico, both registering GDPs three times bigger than the third place, Argentina. Nonetheless, they are the two most populated countries by a great margin.
Key economic indicators of Latin America Latin America emerges as an important region in the world economy, as of 2023, around 7.3 percent of the global GDP, a similar share to the Middle East. Nevertheless, the economic development of most of its countries has been heavily affected by other factors, such as corruption, inequality, inflation, or crime and violence. Countries such as Venezuela, Suriname, and Argentina are constantly ranking among the highest inflation rates in the world. While Jamaica, Ecuador, and Haiti rank as some of the most crime-ridden states.

Since 1980, Europe's largest economies have consistently been France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom, although the former Soviet Union's economy was the largest in the 1980s, and Russia's economy has been larger than Spain's since 2010. Since Soviet dissolution, Germany has always had the largest economy in Europe, while either France or the UK has had the second largest economy depending on the year. Italy's economy was of a relatively similar size to that of the UK and France until the mid-2000s when it started to diverge, resulting in a difference of approximately 800 billion U.S dollars by 2018. Russia's economy had overtaken both Italy and Spain's in 2012, but has fallen since 2014 due to the drop in international oil prices and the economic sanctions imposed for its annexation of Crimea - economic growth is expected to be comparatively low in Russia in the coming years due to the economic fallout of its invasion of Ukraine in 2022. In 2025, Germany, now the world's third-largest economy, was estimated at over *** trillion U.S. dollars.

In 2022, Luxembourg had the largest gross domestic product (GDP) per capita at purchasing power parity. The country ranked first with a PPP-adjusted GDP per capita of about 141,000 international dollars. Ireland and Singapore followed in the places behind.

As of 2024, three out of ten Latin American and Caribbean cities with the highest local purchasing power were located in Mexico. With an index score of 51.3, people in Querétaro had the highest domestic purchasing power in Mexico. In South America, the city with the highest domestic purchasing power for 2024 was Montevideo, scoring 53 index points.

Johannesburg was the wealthiest city in Africa as of 2021. South Africa's biggest city held *** billion U.S. dollars in private wealth, while Cape Town followed with *** billion U.S. dollars. The country led the ranking of wealthiest nations in Africa. The wealth value referred to assets such as cash, properties, and business interests held by individuals living in each country, less liabilities. Moreover, government funds were excluded.
