According to data from the World Federation of Exchanges, as of 2021, the United States accounts for roughly 50 percent of stock market capitalization worldwide. This is followed by Asia-Pacific (excluding Japan) at around 26 percent, Europe at around 17 percent, and Japan at around 5 percent. It is not necessarily expected that the United States will increase its percentage of stock market capitalization in the world over time, as the growth of other regions such as Asia-Pacific may also impact the global distribution of stock market capitalization.
