2044 Population

By the year 2044, the world’s population is projected to reach approximately 9.2 billion people, reflecting continued, though slowing, global growth. Asia will remain the most populous continent, home to over 4.8 billion people, with India and China each sustaining populations above 1.4 billion, though India is expected to maintain its lead as the world’s most populous country. Africa will experience the fastest growth, with its population surpassing 2.4 billion, driven by high fertility rates in countries such as Nigeria, Ethiopia, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Europe’s population will likely decline slightly, dropping below 700 million due to aging demographics and low birth rates, while North America’s population will rise modestly to around 410 million, largely due to immigration. Latin America and the Caribbean will see their population stabilize near 700 million, with Brazil and Mexico remaining the largest countries in the region. Oceania, led by Australia and Papua New Guinea, will grow to nearly 60 million. Urbanization will intensify globally, with more than two-thirds of people living in cities, and megacities in Asia and Africa becoming increasingly prominent.
