This represents an increase of about 70.24 million people from the previous year, reflecting a growth rate of 0.87%.​

The annual growth rate has gradually declined over the past decade. In 2015, it was 1.20%, which decreased to 0.97% by 2020. The 2024 growth rate of 0.87% continues this downward trend, indicating a slowing pace of population growth. ​

Asia, however, remains the most populous continent, housing approximately 58.9% of the global population in 2024. Africa's share stood at 18.6%, while Europe accounted for 9.1%. Latin America and the Caribbean represented 8.1% of the world's population, with Northern America and Oceania comprising 4.7% and 0.6%, respectively. ​

The global total fertility rate (TFR) in 2024 was estimated at 2.2 live births per woman. A TFR below 2.1 is typically associated with a declining native population, absent immigration . This decline in fertility rates has contributed to the observed slowdown in population growth. ​

Urbanisation trends also continued, with 57.5% of the global population residing in urban areas in 2024. The overall population density was calculated at 55 people per square kilometer (142 per square mile), based on a total land area of approximately 148.94 million square kilometers (57.51 million square miles). ​

Based on real GDP measured in 2021 U.S. dollars, the outfit's analysis anticipates the following rankings for the world's largest economies by 2075:

These projections suggest a notable shift, with emerging economies such as Indonesia , Nigeria, Pakistan, and Egypt rising to prominence alongside established economic powers.

Countries like Nigeria , Pakistan, and Egypt are projected to experience substantial population growth, which will lead to larger workforces and increased economic output.

It's important to note that these projections are based on current data and trends. Unforeseen events, policy changes, and global economic shifts could alter these trajectories.
