Every year, the British-based financial services company releases its ranking of the world's top 10 largest economies and found that China will likely lead the pack in a decade’s time.

India is poised to be larger than the U.S. by then, while Indonesia will come in behind as the fourth-largest economy.

"Our long-term growth forecasts are underpinned by one key principle: countries’ share of world GDP should eventually converge with their share of the world’s population, driven by the convergence of per-capita GDP between advanced and emerging economies," Standard Chartered economists said in a note to investors.

The firm projected India’s GDP growth to accelerate to 7.8 percent by 2020, while China will hover around 5 percent by 2030, reflecting a natural slowdown given its size.
