2059 Population

By 2059, the world’s population is projected to reach approximately 9.7 billion people, reflecting ongoing growth but at a slower pace than in previous decades. Asia will remain the most populous continent, with countries like India and China together accounting for nearly a third of the global population, though India is expected to maintain its position as the most populous country. Africa will see the fastest population growth, with its population potentially doubling to around 2.5 billion, driven by high birth rates in countries such as Nigeria, Ethiopia, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Europe’s population is likely to decline slightly due to aging and low fertility, with countries like Russia, Germany, and Italy experiencing negative growth. The Americas will see moderate increases, with the United States, Brazil, and Mexico remaining the largest countries by population in the region. Meanwhile, Oceania, led by Australia and Papua New Guinea, will continue to have a relatively small but steadily growing population. The global demographic landscape in 2059 will be characterized by a youthful, rapidly expanding Africa and a more aging, stable population in Europe and parts of Asia.
