Measure
Analysis
The United States is a superpower in Asia.
The United States’ score declined by 1.2 points in 2025, bringing it to its lowest score since the inception of the Asia Power Index in 2018. However, it remains the most powerful country in the region.
The United States has maintained its lead across six measures — economic capability, military capability, resilience, future resources, defence networks, and cultural influence — although it experienced a score decline for all except cultural influence.
The United States’ weakest measure continues to be diplomatic influence, where it places third. It experienced a 2.4-point decline in this measure, reflecting negative appraisals of President Trump’s global and regional foreign policy leadership.
The United States exerts slightly less influence in the region than expected given its available resources, as indicated by the country's negative Power Gap score, which expanded marginally in 2025.
