Do Market Index ETFs (IVV, VTI, VEU, VT) Pay Growing Dividends?

Index ETFs track broad market indeics. While markets are growing, so should ETFs. If these ETFs keep fixed dividend yield, they should pay growing dividends when ETFs' prices are growing. 

Lets take a look at the historical data of various ETFs.

IVV, S&P 500 Tracking ETF

VTI, Total US Stock Market ETF

VEU, Total US Stock Market ETF

VT, Total World Stock Market ETF

Conclusion

US market ETFs give growing dividends according to past data while the world or non-US markets do not. VEU's returns are not as good over the years and that is probably why it does not pay growing dividends.
