The graphic above (Voronoi diagram) represents the relative size of each country’s economy in terms of nominal GDP: the larger the area, the larger the size of the economy. The areas are further divided into three sectors: services, industrial, and agricultural. The US economy is mostly composed of companies engaged in providing services (79.7% compared to the global average of 63.6%), while agriculture and industry make up smaller-than-average of portions of the economy (1.12% and 19.1% compared to averages of 5.9% and 30.5%) – © Map: howmuch.net.

With a GDP upward of $17 trillion, the US comprises nearly a quarter of the world’s economy. This is slightly more the size of European countries’ economies combined.

Except for China, rich countries have service sectors that greatly outweigh both industry and agriculture.

As for countries in the region of West Asia and North Africa, only Saudi Arabia, UAE and Iran are mentioned in the map (1,01% – 0,56 % – 0,54% respectively).
