2099 Population

By the year 2099, the world’s population is projected to stabilize or slowly decline after peaking mid-century, with estimates ranging from 9 to 10 billion people, depending on fertility trends and policy interventions. Africa will be the most populous continent, possibly home to over 4 billion people, driven by high birth rates in countries like Nigeria, Ethiopia, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Asia’s population, after peaking earlier in the century, will likely plateau or decrease, with India remaining the most populous country, while China’s population continues to shrink due to aging and low fertility. Europe’s population will decline significantly, with many countries experiencing shrinking and aging populations. The Americas will see moderate growth, with the United States, Brazil, and Mexico remaining the largest countries, but Latin America’s population growth will slow as fertility rates fall. Oceania, led by Australia and Papua New Guinea, will see modest increases. Urbanization will be nearly universal, with megacities proliferating in Africa and Asia, and rural populations dwindling worldwide.
