2053 Population

By 2053, the world’s population is projected to reach approximately 9.7 billion people, reflecting continued growth but at a slowing rate compared to previous decades. Asia will remain the most populous continent, home to over 5 billion people, with India and China each sustaining populations exceeding 1.4 billion, though India is expected to remain the most populous country. Africa will experience the fastest growth, likely surpassing 2.5 billion inhabitants, with Nigeria projected to become the third most populous country globally. Europe’s population will continue to decline, falling below 700 million due to low birth rates and aging demographics. The Americas will see modest growth, with Latin America and the Caribbean reaching nearly 800 million and North America approaching 400 million, primarily driven by the United States and Mexico. Oceania’s population will grow slowly, nearing 60 million, with Australia and Papua New Guinea as the largest contributors. Urbanization will intensify, with over two-thirds of the global population living in cities, and demographic shifts will present significant challenges and opportunities across regions.
