BRICS GDP Projected to Surpass $34 Trillion in Next 4 Years: A Global Economic Shift
The global economic landscape is undergoing a significant transformation, with the BRICS nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, now expanded to include Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE) poised for substantial growth. Current projections indicate that the combined Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the eleven BRICS member countries is projected to exceed the global average. Data from CEOWorld shows that the group is slated to skyrocket, led by China’s $23 trillion GDP. Thereafter, India is forecasted to have a GDP of $5 trillion, with Brazil next contributing $2.7.
The collective GDP of BRICS countries has already reached over $31 trillion, which accounts for approximately 27% of global GDP. This massive global GDP share makes BRICS a force to be reckoned with on the world stage. According to public data in 2025, the BRICS economies account for an estimated 37.3 per cent of global gross domestic product based on purchasing power parity.
BRICS vs. G7: A Widening Gap
The BRICS bloc and the G7 have continued to separate, with the gap seemingly widening. Non-oil BRICS countries Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa have surpassed the Group of Seven (G7) in terms of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) based on purchasing power parity. Projections indicate that by 2025, BRICS economies, led by China and India, will surpass the G7 in real GDP growth.
Key Growth Drivers
Several factors contribute to the projected BRICS GDP surge. India, Egypt and Ethiopia will grow at the fastest rates, boosted by great catch-up potential; China will benefit from its high-tech manufacturing sector. India, in particular, is expected to grow from a $3.4 trillion economy in recent years to significantly more.
The World Economic Outlook highlights the growing economic influence of BRICS and its potential to reshape global trade, investment, and geopolitical dynamics. The projected GDP surpassing $34 trillion in the next four years underscores the importance of understanding the BRICS\' evolving role in the world economy.
