Share of World GDP: Macao

Analysis# Macao Share of World GDP Macao currently represents 0.044% of global GDP in 2026, down from its all-time peak of 0.086% in 2013. Since 2001, the territory has grown 37.5% in absolute terms, yet remains substantially below its historical high. The current share reflects a gradual erosion of Macao's relative economic prominence over the past decade. A sharp contraction struck in 2020, when Macao's share plummeted to 0.028%—the lowest point in the dataset—driven by pandemic-related disruptions to its tourism and gaming sectors. Recovery began in 2023, climbing to 0.042%, and stabilized at 0.044% through 2026. While this rebound signals resilience, Macao has not approached its 2013 peak, suggesting a structural shift in its position within the global economy rather than a temporary setback.
