2055 Population

By 2055, 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, home to over 5 billion people, with India and China each sustaining populations above 1.3 billion, though India is expected to remain the world’s most populous country. Africa will experience the fastest growth, with its population surpassing 2.5 billion, driven by rapid increases in countries such as Nigeria, Ethiopia, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Europe’s population will likely decline slightly, falling below 700 million, as aging and low birth rates persist, particularly in Eastern and Southern Europe. In the Americas, Latin America and the Caribbean will see moderate growth, reaching around 750 million, while North America’s population, led by the United States and Mexico, will approach 430 million. Oceania, with Australia as its demographic anchor, will see its population rise to about 60 million. Urbanization will intensify, with megacities proliferating in Asia and Africa, reshaping the global demographic landscape.
