Visualized: Ranking the GDP Growth of the 20 Largest Economies
March 7, 2025
As we reach the midpoint of the 2020s, it’s worth looking back at the performance of the top 20 economies since 2015. This infographic from Visual Capitalists ranks countries according to their projected 2025 GDP and shows their inflation-adjusted growth over the past decade, with figures calculated in 2025 dollars. The chart is based on data from the International Monetary Fund.
While the U.S. remains the largest economy, China and India have both seen explosive GDP growth over the past decade, with each growing by more than 70%.
India’s impressive growth has moved it into the top five, surpassing the UK’s 2015 ranking. The IMF projects India will overtake Japan this year and Germany by 2027.
Other developing economies, such as Indonesia and Türkiye, also saw notable growth. Despite high inflation and a weakening lira since 2018, Türkiye has continued to perform well.
Brazil, however, is the laggard in this group, with just 8% inflation-adjusted GDP growth, the lowest among the top 20 economies.
