2019 Population

In 2019, the world’s population reached approximately 7.7 billion people, with significant variation across continents and regions. Asia was the most populous continent, home to about 4.6 billion people—nearly 60% of the global total—with China (around 1.4 billion) and India (about 1.37 billion) as the two most populous countries. Africa’s population was rapidly growing, reaching about 1.3 billion, with Nigeria as its most populous country. Europe’s population stood at roughly 747 million, with Russia and Germany as leading countries by population. The Americas had about 1 billion people, with the United States (around 329 million) and Brazil (approximately 211 million) as the largest countries in North and South America, respectively. Oceania, including Australia and the Pacific Islands, had a much smaller share, with around 42 million inhabitants. These figures reflected ongoing demographic trends such as high growth rates in Africa and parts of Asia, and slower or negative growth in many European countries.
