Economic Growth in United States

The United States saw robust GDP growth from 2013 to 2019, driven by strong consumer spending and technological innovation. Growth was disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, leading to a sharp but brief recession. The subsequent recovery in 2021-2024 was rapid, fueled by strong growth in consumption and exports plus a booming tech industry. The economy grew above 2% in the last four years, easily outpacing the G7 average.

In the year 2024, the economic growth in United States was 2.80%, compared to 2.52% in 2014 and 2.89% in 2023. It averaged 2.49% over the last decade. For more GDP information, visit our dedicated page.
