The global economy infographic in text

The graphic is a treemap headed “$115 Trillion, The World Economy in 2025”. Each country is a rectangle sized by its GDP, labelled with a three letter code, a flag and a value, and grouped by region in colour: red for Asia, blue for North America, dark green for Europe, purple for the Middle East, yellow for South America, teal for Africa and light blue for Oceania. A hand drawn arrow beside China’s figure reads “Projected GDP”. These are all the values shown, with country codes written out.

How the 2025 projections compare with World Bank figures

Visual Capitalist, which made the chart, says the data comes from the International Monetary Fund’s estimates for 2025, except for Pakistan, with all figures rounded and in nominal US dollars [1]. The World Bank now publishes GDP for 2025 in current US dollars [2]:

Economy	Graphic, projected 2025	World Bank, 2025
World	$115T	$118.35T
United States	$30.3T	$30.77T
China	$19.5T	$19.50T
Germany	$4.9T	$5.05T
Japan	$4.4T	$4.44T
India	$4.3T	$3.96T
United Kingdom	$3.7T	$4.00T

The world total came in about $3 trillion above the projection. The biggest change in the top six is India, whose GDP was $3.96 trillion rather than $4.3 trillion, which puts it below the UK ($4.00 trillion) on these figures [2].

What GDP measures

The World Bank defines gross domestic product as the total income earned through the production of goods and services in an economic territory during an accounting period. The figures used here are in current prices, with no adjustment for price changes over time, and are expressed in US dollars [3]. That means exchange rates affect each country’s value, and the totals are not adjusted for differences in living costs between countries.

Notes on this infographic

Projections, not results. The values were forecasts made before 2025 began. Visual Capitalist posted the chart on 12 December 2024 [1]. Actual figures differ, as the table above shows.
Cropped footer. Our copy is cropped at the bottom. Visual Capitalist’s version adds its logo, the line “Source: International Monetary Fund” and a footnote explaining that the asterisk marks 2024 estimates, used for Pakistan.
India and the UK. The graphic shows India ($4.3 trillion) well ahead of the UK ($3.7 trillion). World Bank figures for 2025 put the UK slightly ahead, at $4.00 trillion against $3.96 trillion [2].
Taiwan and Hong Kong are shown as separate economies, as in Visual Capitalist’s dataset, which labels Taiwan “Taiwan, China” [1].

Is India's economy bigger than the UK's?

Not on World Bank figures for 2025, which put the UK at $4.00 trillion and India at $3.96 trillion [2]. The graphic's projections, posted by Visual Capitalist on 12 December 2024, showed India well ahead at $4.3 trillion against the UK's $3.7 trillion [1]. India was the biggest change in the top six between the projection and the World Bank figures [2].
