Why it matters

Households account for more than half of GDP, and the share has hardly moved in four years (56.5% to 57.1%), so consumption grows about as fast as the economy does.

What it leaves out

It is spending, not income or welfare, and it includes the imputed rent owners pay themselves. It says nothing about who does the spending.

How we compute it

Private final consumption expenditure at current prices divided by GDP at current prices, × 100.

Independent check

India's figure and the World Bank's

Over the last 8 years both cover, the two differ by 0.1 percentage points on average, and by 0.4 at most (2024-25). Both are household and non-profit consumption over GDP.
