The 2021 World Design Rankings (WDR) organized by the A’ Design Award and Competition are now available! This year, China took the coveted #1 spot among the 108 countries represented. The USA followed, along with Japan, Italy, Hong Kong, Great Britain, Taiwan, Germany, Turkey, and Australia. The top 10 countries didn’t change from last year but Hong Kong surpassed Great Britain while Taiwan and Turkey surpassed Germany. Two new countries were included in this year’s rankings: Macau (China) and Iraq.
The 2021 World Design Rankings show a snapshot of a global design community and is an excellent way to discover + get inspired by designers from specific fields beyond your local regions. You can learn more about individual designers in the “Design Classification Platform”. You can also discover the top designers, artists, and architects regardless of their design discipline on the “Designer Rankings,” which is ranked by the number of design awards won globally. The “Design Business Insights” also lets you see rankings by design fields and creative categories, like Interior Design, Fashion Design, or Industrial Design.
