2014 Population

In 2014, the world’s population was estimated at approximately 7.2 billion people. Asia was the most populous continent, home to about 4.4 billion individuals, with China and India alone accounting for over 2.6 billion combined—making them the two most populous countries globally. Africa’s population was rapidly growing, reaching around 1.1 billion, with Nigeria and Ethiopia as its most populous nations. Europe’s population stood at roughly 740 million, led by Russia and Germany. The Americas had a combined population of about 970 million, with the United States (over 318 million) and Brazil (around 203 million) as the largest countries in North and South America, respectively. Oceania, including Australia and the Pacific Islands, had a much smaller population, totaling around 38 million. Global population growth in 2014 was driven mainly by higher birth rates in developing regions, particularly in Africa and parts of Asia.
