2047 Population

By the year 2047, the world’s population is projected to reach approximately 9.5 billion people, continuing the trend of growth but at a slower pace than in previous decades. Asia will remain the most populous continent, with over 5 billion residents, driven largely by India, which will still be the world’s most populous country, followed by China. Africa will experience the fastest population growth, with its population expected to nearly double to around 2.5 billion, making it increasingly significant in global demographics—Nigeria alone could surpass 400 million people, becoming the third most populous country. Europe’s population will likely decline slightly, falling below 700 million due to aging and low birth rates, while Latin America and the Caribbean will see moderate growth, reaching about 750 million. North America’s population, led by the United States and Mexico, will approach 400 million, and Oceania, including Australia, will grow more slowly to around 60 million. Urbanization will intensify, with megacities in Asia and Africa dominating the list of the world’s largest urban centers.
