In this article, we will share the ranking of 192 countries in the world based on their Gross Domestic Product (GDP) on a Purchasing Power Parity (GDP PPP) basis. We have used the publicly available data from International Monetary Fund (IMF) to rank the countries. We have also provided an analysis based on whether the countries are developed or developing. IMF classifies these countries as ‘advanced economies’ and ’emerging market and developing economies’ respectively (Please see the notes at the bottom). Of the 192 countries, 39 countries classified as advanced economies and the remaining are classified as emerging market and developing economies.

This article is part of a series of articles ranking the countries in the world based on their GDP related indicators. In our other articles, we have provided world GDP rankings ,  world GDP per capita rankings , world GDP PPP per capita rankings , and world real GDP growth rankings.

World Total GDP PPP 1980-2024

The world total GDP PPP reached $135 trillion during 2018. The total GDP PPP of the developed countries (aka advanced economies) was $55 trillion during 2018. The total GDP PPP of the developing countries (aka emerging market and developing economies) was $80 trillion during 2018.

IMF estimates the world GDP PPP to reach $142 trillion during 2019 and $150 trillion during 2020. IMF estimates the developed countries total GDP PPP to reach $57 trillion during 2019 and $59 trillion during 2020. IMF estimates the developing countries total GDP PPP to reach $85 trillion during 2019 and $91 trillion during 2020.

The chart below provides the developed vs developing world GDP PPP data from 1980 to 2024. The data for 2019 to 2024 are estimates by the IMF staff.

The share of the developed countries in the world total GDP PPP was 63.2% during 1980. The share of the developing countries in the world total GDP PPP was 36.8% during 1980. During 2008, the share of developing countries GDP PPP exceeded that of the developed countries. IMF estimates that in 2024, the share of developed countries GDP PPP would be 36.5% and the share of developing countries GDP PPP would be 63.5%. So, in 44 years, the GDP PPP share of the two country groups would reverse.

The chart below provides the developed vs developing world GDP PPP share data from 1980 to 2024. The data for 2019 to 2024 are estimates by the IMF staff.

Notes

1. Data Source:  International Monetary Fund (IMF) World Economic Outlook (WEO) database, April 2019 edition.
2. How does the WEO categorize advanced versus emerging market and developing economies? As per IMF, “The main criteria used by the WEO to classify the world into advanced economies and emerging market and developing economies are (1) per capita income level, (2) export diversification, and (3) degree of integration into the global financial system.  Note, however, that these are not the only factors considered in deciding the classification of countries. This classification has evolved over time. The objective is to facilitate analysis by providing a reasonably meaningful method of organizing data. Reclassification only happens when something marked changes or the case for change in terms of the three criteria above becomes overwhelming.”
