2043 Population

By 2043, the world’s population is projected to reach approximately 9.2 billion people, continuing a trend of steady growth but at a gradually slowing rate. Asia will remain the most populous continent, home to over 5.2 billion people, with India and China still leading as the two most populous countries, though India will have surpassed China by a significant margin. Africa will experience the fastest population growth, with its population expected to approach 2.1 billion, driven by high birth rates in countries like Nigeria, Ethiopia, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Europe’s population is likely to decline slightly, falling below 700 million due to aging demographics and low fertility rates, while North America’s population will rise modestly to about 410 million, largely because of immigration. Latin America and the Caribbean will see slower growth, reaching around 700 million, while Oceania, including Australia and Pacific island nations, will grow to about 50 million. Urbanization will intensify, with over two-thirds of the world’s people living in cities, particularly in rapidly expanding megacities across Asia and Africa.
