2064 Population

By the year 2064, the world’s population is projected to approach 10 billion, with the most significant growth occurring in Africa and parts of Asia. Africa, driven by high fertility rates in countries like Nigeria, Ethiopia, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, may see its population surpass 2.5 billion, making it the fastest-growing continent. Asia will remain the most populous continent, with India and China each maintaining populations over 1 billion, though India is likely to remain the largest country. Southeast Asia, including Indonesia, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, will continue to see substantial growth, while East Asia, particularly Japan, South Korea, and China, may experience population decline or stagnation due to aging demographics. Europe’s population is expected to shrink, especially in Eastern and Southern Europe, as birth rates remain low and populations age. The Americas will see moderate growth, with the United States, Brazil, and Mexico remaining the most populous countries in the region, though Latin America’s growth rate will slow. Oceania’s population will increase modestly, led by Australia and Papua New Guinea. Urbanization will intensify, with the majority of people living in megacities across Asia and Africa, shaping the global demographic landscape of 2064.
