Viet Nam GDP per Capita PPP
GDP per capita based on PPP NY.GDP.PCAP.PP.CD
Viet Nam's gdp per capita ppp was $17,688 in 2025, ranked 107th globally. This represents a 8.0% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1980–2025.
Overview
Viet Nam's gdp per capita ppp stood at $17,688 in 2025, a rise of +$1,303 from 2024. The IMF projects $17,688 by 2025. Viet Nam ranked 107th globally.
Vietnam’s GDP per capita measured in purchasing‑power‑parity terms rose from a trough of 580.24 in 1980 to an all‑time peak of 17,688.25 in 2025, placing the country at rank 107 globally. This 46‑year trajectory reflects a compound annual growth rate of roughly 9 percent, driven by rapid industrialisation, export‑oriented manufacturing and expanding services. The 2025 figure narrowly trails peer economies such as Bhutan (17,721.79) and Indonesia (17,633.89), underscoring Vietnam’s successful integration into regional value chains while still lagging behind higher‑income neighbours. The steep ascent contrasts sharply with the low‑income baseline of the early 1980s, when per‑capita output was less than one‑tenth of the current level, illustrating the depth of structural transformation. Continued investment in high‑technology sectors, improvements in human capital and sustained openness to foreign direct investment will be crucial to preserve the upward momentum and potentially lift Vietnam into the top‑100 bracket in the coming decade.
