2057 Population

By the year 2057, the world’s population is projected to reach around 9.7 billion people, reflecting ongoing but slowing growth. Asia will remain the most populous continent, with countries like India and China each sustaining populations over 1.3 billion, though India is expected to surpass China as the world’s most populous nation. Africa will see the fastest population growth, with its total population likely exceeding 2.5 billion, driven by high birth rates in countries such as Nigeria, Ethiopia, and the Democratic Republic of Congo—Nigeria alone may approach 400 million people. Europe’s population will continue to decline or stagnate, with many countries experiencing aging demographics and lower birth rates. The Americas will see moderate growth, with the United States likely reaching about 380 million people and Latin America’s population stabilizing as fertility rates fall. Oceania, led by Australia and Papua New Guinea, will experience steady but modest increases. Urbanization will intensify globally, with over two-thirds of people living in cities, and megacities in Asia and Africa becoming increasingly prominent.
