Gross domestic product (GDP) of Japan 1980-2027

In 2021, the gross domestic product of Japan was estimated to be around 4.9 trillion U.S. dollars. This makes Japan third in the world GDP ranking. However, Japan's GDP is much closer to those countries below it in this ranking, as the two largest economies in the world, the U.S. and China, are both several times larger than that of Japan. After decades of rapid growth in the post-WWII era, Japan's economic growth has stagnated in recent decades, with figures fluctuating between four and 6.2 trillion U.S. dollars since the 1990s.
