In 2025, the global economy was estimated to have grown by approximately 3.2 percent, compared with 3.3 percent in 2024. In most years since 2000, global gross domestic product has increased. Notable exceptions to this include the Great Recession in 2009, and again in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, when the global economy shrank.

The USA: Percent of world GDP: The latest value from 2023 is 26.3 percent, an increase from 25.73 percent in 2022. In comparison, the world average is 0.53 percent, based on data from 188 countries. Historically, the average for the USA from 1980 to 2023 is 26.89 percent. The minimum value, 21.2 percent, was reached in 2011 while the maximum of 35.32 percent was recorded in 1985.

In 2025, the United States had the largest economy in the world, with a gross domestic product of over 30.6 trillion U.S. dollars. China was the world's second-largest economy, at around 19.4 trillion U.S. dollars. A distant third, Germany's GDP was just over five trillion dollars this year, followed by Japan at 4.28 trillion and India at 4.13 trillion. Global gross domestic product Global gross domestic product amounted to approximately 117.2 trillion U.S. dollars in 2025, with the United States making up more than one-quarter of this figure alone. The eleven largest economies in the world include all G7 economies, as well as the four largest BRICS economies. The U.S. has consistently had the world's largest economy since the interwar period, and while previous reports estimated it would be overtaken by China in the 2020s, more recent projections estimate the U.S. economy will remain the largest by a considerable margin going into the 2030s. Calculating GDP The gross domestic product of a country is calculated by taking spending and trade into account to show how much the country can produce in a certain amount of time, usually per year. It represents the value of all goods and services produced during that year. Those countries considered to have emerging or developing economies account for over 60 percent of global gross domestic product, while advanced economies make up just under 40 percent.

The average for 2023 based on 188 countries was 0.53 percent. The highest value was in the USA: 26.3 percent and the lowest value was in Andorra: 0 percent. The indicator is available from 1980 to 2023. Below is a chart for all countries where data are available.

This dataset contains the GDP of every country from 1960 to 2022.

The GDP figures are measured in current U.S. dollars and represent the sum of gross value added by all resident producers in each country's economy. This encompasses not only the production value but also takes into account any product taxes while subtracting subsidies that are not included in the value of products.

The conversion of domestic currencies to U.S. dollars is based on single-year official exchange rates, ensuring accuracy and consistency across the dataset. For countries where the official exchange rate might not wholly reflect actual foreign exchange transactions, alternative conversion factors have been employed for precision.

The novel coronavirus pandemic, or COVID-19, had a severe impact on the global economy, causing a decrease of the G20 countries' gross domestic product (GDP) of three percent in 2020. However, the following year, the GDP of these countries grew by over six percent. It continued to grow in the following years, albeit at a slower pace, and is forecast to continue to do so in 2025 and 2026.For more information about the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global economy, please check out our dedicated topic page.

The graph shows China's share in global gross domestic product adjusted for purchasing-power-parity until 2024, with a forecast until 2030. In 2024, China's share was about 19.3 percent. China's global GDP share Due to the introduction of capitalist market principles in 1978, China's economic market began to show immense change and growth. China's real GDP growth ranged at 5.0 percent in 2024. China's per capita GDP is also expected to continue to grow, reaching 13,300 U.S. dollars in 2024. Comparatively, Luxembourg and Switzerland have some of the world’s largest GDP per capita with 141,100 U.S. dollars and 111,700 U.S. dollars, respectively, expected for 2025.China is the largest exporter and second largest importer of goods in the world and is also among the largest manufacturing economies. The country also ranges among the world's largest agricultural producers and consumers. It relies heavily on intensive agricultural practices and is the world's largest producer of pigs, chickens, and eggs. Livestock production has been heavily emphasized since the mid-1970s. China’s chemical industry has also seen growth with a heavy focus on fertilizers, plastics, and synthetic fibers. China's use of chemical fertilizers amounted to approximately 50.2 million metric tons in 2023. GDP composition in China Industry and construction account for less than 40 percent of China's GDP. Some of the major industries include mining and ore processing, food processing, coal, machinery, textiles and apparel, and consumer products. Almost half of China's output is dedicated to investment purposes. However, as the country tends to support gross output, innovation, technological advancement, and even quality are often lacking.

In 2024, the United States accounted for 14.88 percent of global gross domestic product (GDP) after adjusting for purchasing power parity (PPP). This share was expected to decrease to 13.98 percent by 2030, which is roughly a seventh of the global total. What is PPP? The easiest way to understand purchasing power parity is the Big Mac Index, a measure developed by The Economist. The index tracks the price of the McDonald’s Big Mac burger, sold at each of its thousands of restaurants worldwide. Countries where the Big Mac is most expensive have higher purchasing power, meaning one can buy more for each unit of that currency. To calculate PPP, economists use a group of goods to calculate the ratio of the price of this group in each country. This ratio is then used to convert all countries into a standardized price level, on parity with each other. Why use PPP? A U.S. dollar in the United States does not have the same purchasing power as a dollar in China, even after considering the exchange rate. For this reason, adjusting for PPP gives an idea of what the rest of the world could buy in the United States, if prices were the same as in their home country. However, some economists argue that using PPP for comparisons between countries is inaccurate because it changes the price level differently for each country. Still, because it accounts not only for country-specific effects but also inflation and exchange rate fluctuations, PPP is a very popular metric.

In 1938, the year before the Second World War, the United States had, by far, the largest economy in the world in terms of gross domestic product (GDP). The five Allied Great Powers that emerged victorious from the war, along with the three Axis Tripartite Pact countries that were ultimately defeated made up the eight largest independent economies in 1938.

When values are converted into 1990 international dollars, the U.S. GDP was over 800 billion dollars in 1938, which was more than double that of the second largest economy, the Soviet Union. Even the combined economies of the UK, its dominions, and colonies had a value of just over 680 billion 1990 dollars, showing that the United States had established itself as the world's leading economy during the interwar period (despite the Great Depression).

Interestingly, the British and Dutch colonies had larger combined GDPs than their respective metropoles, which was a key motivator for the Japanese invasion of these territories in East Asia during the war. Trade with neutral and non-belligerent countries also contributed greatly to the economic development of Allied and Axis powers throughout the war; for example, natural resources from Latin America were essential to the American war effort, while German manufacturing was often dependent on Swedish iron supplies.

The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in the United States was worth 29184.89 billion US dollars in 2024, according to official data from the World Bank. The GDP value of the United States represents 27.49 percent of the world economy.
