2062 Population

By 2062, the world’s population is projected to reach approximately 10 billion people, according to United Nations medium-variant estimates. Asia will remain the most populous continent, with over 5.5 billion inhabitants, though its growth rate will have slowed, particularly in China, whose population may decline to around 1.2 billion, while India could peak near 1.7 billion. Africa will experience the fastest growth, potentially doubling its population to over 2.5 billion, driven by high fertility rates in countries like Nigeria, Ethiopia, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Europe’s population is expected to shrink, possibly falling below 700 million, with significant aging in countries such as Germany, Italy, and Russia. The Americas will see moderate growth, with Latin America and the Caribbean approaching 800 million, while North America (mainly the United States and Canada) could reach 430 million. Oceania, led by Australia and Papua New Guinea, will remain the least populous continent, with around 60 million people. Urbanization will intensify, with megacities in Asia and Africa dominating the global urban landscape.
