By the year 2075, the world’s population is projected to reach approximately 9.7 to 10 billion people, according to United Nations estimates. Africa is expected to experience the most significant growth, potentially doubling its population to over 2.5 billion, making it the second most populous continent after Asia. Asia’s population may stabilize or slightly decline, remaining around 4.7 to 5 billion, with India likely maintaining its position as the most populous country, followed by China and Nigeria. Europe’s population is projected to decrease due to low birth rates and aging, potentially dropping below 650 million. North America’s population could rise modestly, reaching around 430 million, largely driven by immigration. Latin America and the Caribbean may see slow growth, stabilizing at about 750 million. Oceania, including Australia and the Pacific Islands, will likely experience gradual growth, reaching around 60 million. Urbanization and migration patterns will continue to reshape regional demographics, with megacities expanding particularly in Africa and Asia.
