The GDP Of BRICS Countries Surpasses $31 Trillion in 2025
According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the worldâs total gross domestic product (GDP) has reached approximately $115 trillion. Of this total GDP, advanced economies make up around $67 trillion, and emerging markets and developing economies account for $47.93 trillion.
Among these emerging economies, the BRICS nations form a strong economic bloc. The collective GDP of BRICS countries has reached over $31 trillion, which accounts for approximately 27% of global GDP. This massive global GDP share makes BRICS one of the most influential economic groups in the world. China is the largest economy in the BRICS bloc, with a GDP of $19.53 trillion.
According to the IMF, the global GDP has surpassed approximately $115 trillion. This massive economic output is dominated by two major economic blocs: the G7 and BRICS+. Together, they account for about $80 trillion, which makes up about 70% of the total global GDP. The G7 economies hold the highest total GDP among global economic groups, amounting to $51.45 trillion. On the other hand, the BRICS+ nations have a combined GDP of $31.72 trillion.
Comparing G7 vs. BRICS GDP reveals that while the G7 leads in total economic output, the BRICS+ nations are growing at a much faster pace, with an average real GDP growth of 4.2% compared to just 1.7% for the G7.

GDP of BRICS could surpass G7 in 2-3 years - senior Duma MP
8 Jun, 2015
The GDP of the BRICS countries may surpass that of the G7 within two or three years, as it has already hit $32.5 trillion and rising, claims State Duma Foreign Relations chief Aleksey Pushkov.
"In 2014, the total gross domestic product of BRICS countries reached 30 percent [of the worldâs GDP â Ed.]. This is less than that of the G7, but the difference is seven or eight percent. The combined GDP of the BRICS countries, according to the International Monetary Fund is $32.5 trillion [by purchasing power parity - Ed.]; the G7âs is $34.7 trillion. Given that the BRICS members mostly show much higher growth rates than the G7, we can assume that in the next two or three years the aggregate GDP of the BRICS countries will exceed the G7âs,â said the head of the State Duma Foreign Relations Committee, Aleksey Pushkov, speaking to reporters at the first BRICS Parliamentary Forum in Moscow.
He went on to say that BRICS should make this Forum regular, preferably annual, and when that happens, it would help to make the world more equitable and multipolar, based not on the superiority of one country over the other, but on the balance of interests.
