Analysis# Sweden Share of World GDP
Sweden's share of global GDP stands at 0.369% in 2026, representing a significant contraction from its peak of 0.696% in 1982. The nation has experienced a 45.4% decline in its relative economic weight over the past 46 years, dropping to its all-time low in the current year. This erosion reflects Sweden's diminishing position in an expanding global economy, where emerging markets have grown substantially faster than mature Nordic economies.
The decline accelerated notably after 2017, when Sweden held 0.414% of world GDP. Annual losses have been consistent throughout the 2020s, with the share falling from 0.424% in 2020 to the current 0.369%. The recent trend suggests continued downward pressure, with forecasts indicating no reversal in the trajectory through 2030.
