| | | California has officially surpassed Japan to become the 4th-largest economy in the world, with a nominal GDP exceeding $4.1 trillion. Powered by Silicon Valley’s tech giants, Hollywood’s entertainment industry, cutting-edge clean-energy sectors, and one of the most productive agricultural regions on Earth, California’s economy rivals entire nations. Its influence extends across global technology, finance, biosciences, and culture — making it one of the most economically important regions on the planet.
While this ranking is based on nominal GDP rather than purchasing-power metrics, it reflects the scale of California’s output and the global reach of its industries. Even with high living costs and ongoing debates about taxation, regulation, and population shifts, the state continues to dominate innovation and high-value industries. California isn’t just a state — it’s an economic engine capable of reshaping global markets, trends, and technologies.
