2045 Population

By 2045, the world’s population is projected to reach approximately 9.5 billion people, driven by growth in Asia and Africa. Asia will remain the most populous continent, with over 5 billion residents, though its growth rate will slow as countries like China and Japan experience aging and even population decline. India is expected to solidify its position as the world’s most populous country, potentially surpassing 1.6 billion people. Africa’s population will see the fastest growth, likely doubling to around 2.5 billion, with Nigeria becoming the third most populous country globally. Europe’s population will continue to shrink and age, falling below 700 million, while North America’s population will rise modestly to around 400 million, mainly due to immigration. Latin America and the Caribbean will experience slower growth, reaching about 750 million, while Oceania, led by Australia, will approach 60 million. Urbanization will accelerate, with more than two-thirds of the global population living in cities, presenting both opportunities and challenges for sustainable development.
