2086 Population

By the year 2086, the world’s population is projected to have stabilized at around 10.5 billion people, following decades of slowing growth rates. Africa will have experienced the most dramatic increase, accounting for nearly 40% of the global population, with Nigeria, Ethiopia, and the Democratic Republic of Congo among the most populous countries. Asia will remain the most populous continent, though its share will have declined as growth rates in China and India plateau and even begin to shrink, while Southeast Asian nations like Indonesia and the Philippines continue to grow moderately. Europe’s population will have declined further, with countries like Germany, Italy, and Russia experiencing significant aging and population loss. The Americas will see modest growth, with the United States, Brazil, and Mexico remaining the largest countries, though the population will be older on average. Oceania, led by Australia and Papua New Guinea, will continue to grow slowly, while urbanization will have intensified globally, with megacities across Africa and Asia housing tens of millions of residents each.
