China GNI per Capita
GNI divided by midyear population NY.GNP.PCAP.CD
China's gni per capita was $14,919 in 2025, ranked 77th globally. This represents a 9.2% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1962–2025.
Overview
China's gni per capita stood at $14,919 in 2025, a rise of +$1,259 from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach $14,919 by 2025. China ranked 77th globally.
China’s gross national income per capita has risen from a trough of 70.00 in 1962 to an all‑time peak of 14,919.00 in 2025, placing it 77th among World Bank‑reported economies after 64 years of data. The magnitude of this increase reflects sustained industrialisation, export‑led growth and gradual urbanisation, which have lifted average incomes by more than two orders of magnitude. Compared with peers of similar ranking, China’s 2025 figure is slightly below Argentina’s 15,039.00 and Türkiye’s 14,176.00, yet above St. Lucia’s 14,270.00, underscoring its position at the upper end of the middle‑income bracket. The long‑term trajectory suggests that continued reforms in technology, services and domestic consumption could push GNI per capita higher, while any slowdown in external demand or demographic pressures might temper future gains.
