India vs China GDP Growth by Decade (2010–2025)
Compare annual real GDP growth in India and China from 2010 to 2025, including simple decade averages, crossover years, official sources, CSV download, and API access.

The latest annual row (2025) reports China's real GDP growth as 5.0% and India's as 6.4%. This dataset compares annual growth rates, not GDP levels. Consult the source notes for calendar-year and fiscal-year definitions.
India vs China GDP Growth by Decade
For the 2010s, across 10 available annual observations (2010–2019), China's real GDP growth averaged 7.66%, compared with 6.65% for India.
For the 2020s, across 6 available annual observations (2020–2025), China's real GDP growth averaged 4.8%, compared with 5.3% for India.
These are simple arithmetic averages of the available annual rates shown below, using only years with values for both countries.
This page compares GDP growth rates, not the total size of each economy. Use China nominal GDP size / annual GDP data for historical GDP levels, or compare the countries' demographic backdrop in the China vs India population dataset.
China vs India annual GDP size
Nominal GDP in current US dollars measures economic size at current prices and exchange rates. It is distinct from real GDP growth rates and from GDP at purchasing power parity (PPP). Growth percentages cannot be used to derive annual nominal GDP amounts, a dollar gap, or a size ratio.
Latest shared WDI year label: 2025. World Bank WDI release 2026-10-08, indicator NY.GDP.MKTP.CD; amounts below are in billion current US dollars.
China reports January–December of the label year. India reports April of that year–March of the following year. Matching labels therefore cover different periods; a same-period dollar gap or ratio is not calculated. These are nominal amounts at current prices and exchange rates, distinct from growth percentages and PPP.
WDI may revise historical values. A blank observation status means the source has not specified that status; it does not certify a final actual value or exclude estimates. Missing values remain unavailable.

Statistical periods also matter. World Bank WDI national accounts for India use a fiscal year ending March 31; WDI assigns fiscal data to the calendar year containing most of the fiscal period. Under that rule, label Y represents April Y–March Y+1 for India, compared with January–December Y for China. Matching year labels therefore do not represent identical periods. This WDI rule must not be assumed to describe the IMF growth series on this page.
