Countries by GDP Growth Rate 2025

About This Dataset

Countries ranked by real GDP growth rate as a percentage in 2025, according to IMF World Economic Outlook April 2026 projections. India leads major economies in GDP growth rate in 2025 — sustaining expansion above 6% driven by strong domestic consumption, a digitally-enabled services sector that continues to capture global outsourcing market share, government capital expenditure on infrastructure at record levels, and a demographic dividend from a young and expanding workforce that contrasts sharply with the ageing populations constraining growth in Europe, Japan, and China. IMF forecasts consistently position India as the fastest-growing large economy through the late 2020s, with projections suggesting it will add the equivalent of a new Australia to global GDP every two years at current trajectory.

✨ AI Insight

India's projected GDP growth rate of 6.5% in 2025 positions it as a clear leader among major economies, driven by robust domestic consumption and significant government infrastructure spending. Vietnam and the Philippines also demonstrate impressive growth at 6.2% and 6.0%, respectively, indicating a broader trend of economic dynamism in Southeast Asia. Meanwhile, the stark contrast with China (4.5%) and the United States (2.7%) highlights the challenges faced by more mature economies, particularly with ageing populations and slower growth trajectories. This trend suggests that emerging markets may increasingly dominate global economic growth, potentially reshaping international economic dynamics in the coming years.
