2073 Population

By the year 2073, the world’s population is projected to reach approximately 9.7 to 10 billion people, with growth patterns varying significantly across continents and regions. Africa will experience the most dramatic increase, potentially doubling its population to over 2.5 billion, with Nigeria likely surpassing 400 million inhabitants and becoming one of the world’s most populous countries. Asia will remain the most populous continent, though its growth will slow, with India and China each sustaining populations near or above 1.3 billion, but India expected to remain the largest. Europe’s population is anticipated to decline, dropping below 700 million due to low birth rates and aging demographics, while Latin America and the Caribbean may stabilize around 700 million. North America’s population, led by the United States and Mexico, could approach 450 million, bolstered by immigration. Meanwhile, Oceania, including Australia and Pacific island nations, will see modest growth, reaching around 60 million. Urbanization will intensify, with megacities proliferating, especially in Africa and Asia, reshaping global demographics and economic power.
