2074 Population

By the year 2074, the world’s population is projected to reach around 9.7 to 10 billion people, with significant demographic shifts across continents and regions. Africa is expected to experience the most dramatic growth, potentially doubling its population to over 2.5 billion, making it the fastest-growing continent and home to several of the world’s largest cities. Asia, while still the most populous continent, may see its population stabilize or even begin to decline after peaking at around 5.3 billion, with India remaining the most populous country, followed by China, whose population is likely to decrease due to aging and lower birth rates. Europe’s population is projected to shrink, especially in Eastern and Southern regions, while North America’s growth will be moderate, driven largely by immigration, with the United States maintaining a population of around 400 million. Latin America and the Caribbean will see slower growth, with Brazil and Mexico remaining the largest countries, but with aging populations. Oceania, led by Australia, will continue to grow steadily, though it will remain the least populous continent. These trends will reshape global demographics, economies, and migration patterns throughout the 21st century.
