A very different world population map

By 2100, the UN's medium-variant projection has India still the world's most populous country at about 1.51 billion — only slightly below its projected 2050 peak — while China falls all the way to around 633 million, less than half its current population and a smaller economy-sized population than Pakistan (projected at 511 million) or Nigeria (projected at 477 million). D.R. Congo, currently the 15th most populous country in the world, is projected to reach 431 million by 2100, making it one of the five most populous countries on Earth. The United States, by contrast, is projected to grow only modestly over the full 74-year span, from about 349 million today to around 421 million.

Africa's century

The countries projected to gain the most ground by 2100 are almost exclusively African — the same countries topping our fastest-growing ranking today, extended out over three-quarters of a century of continued (if slowing) growth. By 2100, demographic weight shifts decisively: a global population map built mostly around Asia and Europe through the 20th century gives way to one where Sub-Saharan Africa is the largest single bloc.

Why 2100 is a projection, not a forecast

A 75-year population projection is inherently far less reliable than the 2050 figures on this site: it depends on assumptions about fertility decline, mortality improvement and migration that compound over multiple generations not yet born. The UN publishes low and high variants alongside this medium one precisely because plausible outcomes diverge by billions of people at this horizon. Read this table as "the world UN demographers consider most likely if current trends continue," not as a prediction of exactly what will happen.
