GNI divided by midyear population NY.GNP.PCAP.CD
Germany's gni per capita was $58,121 in 2025, ranked 22nd globally. This represents a 5.5% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1962–2025.
Overview
Germany's gni per capita stood at $58,121 in 2025, a rise of +$3,031 from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach $58,121 by 2025. Germany ranked 22nd globally.
Germany’s gross national income per capita rose from a low of 1,370.00 in 1962 to an all‑time peak of 58,121.00 in 2025, placing the country 22nd globally and ranking it just behind peers such as Canada at 58,352.00 and Austria at 58,071.00. The 64‑year trajectory reflects sustained post‑war reconstruction, the benefits of European integration, and a shift toward high‑value manufacturing and services, which together lifted GNI per capita by more than 4,100 % over the period. While the early 1960s marked a trough associated with war‑time devastation and limited export capacity, the recent peak coincides with strong productivity gains, robust fiscal policy, and a skilled labour force. The upward trend is expected to continue, provided Germany maintains its innovation ecosystem and adapts to demographic challenges; any slowdown in investment or a prolonged global slowdown could, however, temper future growth.
