Countries with the largest GDP worldwide 2025

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 amounted to 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.
