India’s economy has witnessed remarkable growth, with its Gross Domestic Product (GDP) doubling from $2.1 trillion in 2015 to $4.3 trillion in 2025. This 105% increase places India among the fastest-growing major economies globally, positioning it to overtake Japan in 2025 and Germany by 2027, according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
Based on inflation-adjusted figures, India’s GDP has grown by 77% over the past decade, rising from $2.4 trillion in 2015 to $4.3 trillion in 2025. This expansion has solidified India’s position among the world’s top five economies, reflecting strong economic policies, structural reforms, and a push for ease of doing business.
By comparison, China’s GDP grew 74% during the same period, from $11.2 trillion in 2015 to $19.5 trillion in 2025. Despite forecasts that China would overtake the United States as the leader of the global economy, however, because of slowdowns, pandemic disruptions, and problems with the property sector, this has not materialized.
America remains the largest economy of the world, with its GDP increasing from $23.7 trillion in 2015 to $30.3 trillion in 2025, at a growth rate of 28%. While its growth rate is less compared to Asian economies, the US continues to lead financial markets worldwide.
Other major economies, including the UK, France, Germany, and Japan, also recorded moderate GDP growth, ranging from 6% to 14% for the decade. Brazil, however, recorded the least GDP growth among the leading ten economies, with a paltry 8% growth as a result of persistent economic problems.
India, with its rapidly growing economy, is poised on its path toward emerging as a global economic giant, with increased investment and expanding influence on global markets.
