By Molly Cook Escobar

The U.S. stock market has far outpaced other global markets since the financial crisis of 2008-09. The S&P 500, the leading benchmark for large U.S. stocks, has exceeded the growth of the second-strongest market by more than 200 percentage points.

This outperformance is due largely to the strong performance of tech stocks, whose market value had grown to represent for 47% of the index's total capitalization in 2024.

The upshot of the outperformance: The U.S. market is now four times bigger than the next largest market, up from two times bigger in 2008.
