2095 Population

By the year 2095, the world’s population is projected to have stabilized or begun to decline after peaking at around 10 to 11 billion people mid-century, according to most demographic forecasts. Africa will be the most populous continent, potentially home to over 4 billion people, with Nigeria, Ethiopia, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo among the world’s largest countries by population. Asia’s population, having peaked earlier, will remain substantial—particularly in countries like India, which will likely still be the world’s most populous nation, and China, whose population may have declined due to aging and low birth rates. Europe’s population will continue its gradual decline and aging, with countries like Germany, Italy, and Russia seeing significant demographic shifts. The Americas will see modest growth, with the United States, Brazil, and Mexico maintaining large populations, though growth rates in Latin America will have slowed. Oceania, led by Australia and Indonesia’s continuing growth, will remain the least populous continent but will experience urban expansion and demographic diversification. Regional differences in fertility, migration, and urbanization will shape the global demographic landscape, with Africa and parts of South Asia driving most of the world’s population growth by 2095.
