2092 Population

By the year 2092, the world’s population is projected to have stabilized or even begun to decline after peaking around mid-century, with estimates ranging between 9 and 10 billion people. Africa will have experienced the most significant growth, potentially accounting for over 40% of the global population, with Nigeria, Ethiopia, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo among the world’s most populous countries. Asia, while still the most populous continent, will see its population plateau or decrease, with India and China remaining demographic giants, though India is likely to maintain its position as the most populous country. Europe’s population will have aged and shrunk, particularly in Eastern Europe and Russia, while North America’s population will have grown modestly, driven largely by immigration, with the United States and Mexico remaining major population centers. Latin America’s growth will have slowed, with Brazil and Mexico continuing as regional leaders, and Oceania, led by Australia and Papua New Guinea, will see gradual increases. Urbanization will be nearly universal, with megacities proliferating, especially in Africa and Asia, shaping the global demographic landscape.
