World GDP by year: current and constant (inflation-adjusted) dollars
This chart shows world GDP from 1960 to 2024, in both current and constant (inflation-adjusted) dollars. In nominal terms, global GDP rose sharply from $1.37T in 1960 to $33.9T in 2000, and to $111T in 2024, reflecting not only economic expansion but also inflation.
When adjusted for inflation, the chart reveals a more moderate rise in real economic output, with periods of rapid growth in the 2000s and slowdowns during global recessions in the early 1980s, 2008–2009 (global financial crisis), and 2020 (pandemic).

Global GDP per capita chart
This chart shows global GDP per capita over time in both nominal and inflation-adjusted (constant) USD to account for price level changes and reveal real productivity growth.
Global GDP per capita has increased sixfold since the 1970s, but much of that rise is due to inflation. When adjusted for inflation, GDP per capita has only doubled over the past 50 years. This modest real growth is partly due to slower population growth and declining birth rates in developed countries. While these economies have significantly outperformed the rest of the world, they account for only a small share of the global population.
