The $80 Trillion World Economy in One Chart
Check out the latest 2023 update of the world economy in one chart.
The latest estimate from the World Bank puts global GDP at roughly $80 trillion in nominal terms for 2017.
Today’s chart from HowMuch.net uses this data to show all major economies in a visualization called a Voronoi diagram – let’s dive into the stats to learn more.
The World’s Top 10 Economies
Here are the world’s top 10 economies, which together combine for a whopping two-thirds of global GDP.
Rank | Country | GDP | % of Global GDP |
---|---|---|---|
#1 | United States | $19.4 trillion | 24.4% |
#2 | China | $12.2 trillion | 15.4% |
#3 | Japan | $4.87 trillion | 6.1% |
#4 | Germany | $3.68 trillion | 4.6% |
#5 | United Kingdom | $2.62 trillion | 3.3% |
#6 | India | $2.60 trillion | 3.3% |
#7 | France | $2.58 trillion | 3.3% |
#8 | Brazil | $2.06 trillion | 2.6% |
#9 | Italy | $1.93 trillion | 2.4% |
#10 | Canada | $1.65 trillion | 2.1% |
In nominal terms, the U.S. still has the largest GDP at $19.4 trillion, making up 24.4% of the world economy.
While China’s economy is far behind in nominal terms at $12.2 trillion, you may recall that the Chinese economy has been the world’s largest when adjusted for purchasing power parity (PPP) since 2016.
The next two largest economies are Japan ($4.9 trillion) and Germany ($4.6 trillion) – and when added to the U.S. and China, the top four economies combined account for over 50% of the world economy.
Movers and Shakers
Over recent years, the list of top economies hasn’t changed much – and in a similar visualization we posted 18 months ago, the four aforementioned top economies all fell in the exact same order.
However, look outside of these incumbents, and you’ll see that the major forces shaping the future of the global economy are in full swing, especially when it comes to emerging markets.
Here are some of the most important movements:
India has now passed France in nominal terms with a $2.6 trillion economy, which is about 3.3% of the global total. In the most recent quarter, Indian GDP growth saw its highest growth rate in two years at about 8.2%.
Brazil, despite its very recent economic woes, surpassed Italy in GDP rankings to take the #8 spot overall.
Turkey has surpassed The Netherlands to become the world’s 17th largest economy, and Saudi Arabia has jumped past Switzerland to claim the 19th spot.

Every year, over 40 million TVs are sold in the U.S., making the device a flagship technology in many American homes.
In this graphic, we illustrate the most popular TV brands in the U.S. based on a 2023 Statista survey of over 8,000 American adults. Respondents were asked, ‘What brand is your main TV?’
Korean Brands Dominate the U.S. TV Market
Samsung and LG combined account for 52% of the TV market share. Interestingly, the two firms have a partnership in place, with LG supplying OLED TV panels to Samsung since 2023.
TV Brand | Country | % of Respondents |
---|---|---|
Samsung | 🇰🇷 South Korea | 33 |
LG | 🇰🇷 South Korea | 19 |
Vizio | 🇺🇸 U.S. | 11 |
Sony | 🇯🇵 Japan | 7 |
Hisense | 🇨🇳 China | 5 |
TCL | 🇨🇳 China | 5 |
Philips | 🇳🇱 Netherlands | 3 |
Insignia | 🇺🇸 U.S. | 2 |
Sanyo | 🇯🇵 Japan | 2 |
Toshiba | 🇯🇵 Japan | 2 |
Sharp | 🇯🇵 Japan | 1 |
Other or don't know | -- | 9 |
Vizio, a California-based company, holds the third position, but its TVs aren’t manufactured in the United States. Rather, they are produced by Taiwanese companies AmTran Technology and Foxconn, the latter being a major manufacturer of the iPhone.
Further down the ranking is Insignia, owned by U.S. retailer Best Buy. While it’s uncertain who produces Insignia TVs, some speculate they’re made by China’s Hisense.
Despite holding the largest market share, South Korea ranks behind Japan in terms of the number of companies among the top brands. Japan boasts four brands on our list, with Sony ranked 4th overall, capturing 7% of the responses.
