IMF forecasts not available for Afghanistan, Bolivia, Cuba, Eritrea, Lebanon, North Korea, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Syria, and Venezuela.

The race for third place is remarkably close. Germany is projected at $6.178 trillion in 2030, compared with $6.173 trillion for India, a difference of just $5 billion.

India could soon overtake Germany in nominal GDP if current growth trajectories continue. The ranking looks very different when adjusting for purchasing power parity, where India’s economy is already roughly three times the size of Germany’s.

The Rise of Asia

By 2030, Asia and the Middle East are projected to generate $55.7 trillion in economic output, accounting for more than a third of the global economy.

Japan will be the region’s next-largest economy after China and India, at $5 trillion, followed by South Korea ($2.3 trillion) and Indonesia ($2.1 trillion).

The long-stagnating Japanese economy has seen growth sputter in recent decades. Once the world’s second-largest economy, Japan was surpassed by China in 2010 and Germany in 2024.

Europe: The Balanced Economy

Europe’s $37 trillion economy is projected to be one of the world’s most balanced by country in 2030. By comparison, a single country accounts for more than half of the continental economy in both North and South America.

Europe is projected to account for roughly a fifth of the global economy in 2030. Assuming no new additions or withdrawals, European Union member countries will reach a combined nominal GDP of $26.5 trillion, led by Germany, France ($4 trillion), and Italy ($3 trillion).

Meanwhile, the United Kingdom ($5.1 trillion) will remain the continent’s largest non-EU economy, followed by Russia ($2.6 trillion). Russia is among the few major economies expected to contract between 2026 and 2030.
