2052 Population

By the year 2052, the world’s population is projected to reach approximately 9.7 billion people, according to United Nations estimates. Asia will remain the most populous continent, with over 5 billion residents, largely driven by populous countries such as India, which is expected to remain the world’s most populous country, and China, whose population may stabilize or slightly decline. Africa will experience the fastest growth, with its population likely surpassing 2.5 billion, and Nigeria poised to become the third most populous country globally. Europe’s population is expected to decline, dropping below 700 million due to low birth rates and aging demographics, while North America’s population will grow modestly, reaching around 400 million, mainly due to immigration. Latin America and the Caribbean will see moderate growth, approaching 800 million, while Oceania’s population, led by Australia and Papua New Guinea, will rise to about 60 million. These demographic shifts will significantly impact global economics, urbanization, and resource distribution.
