India ranks as the world’s most populous country, with a population fast-approaching the 1.5 billion mark.
Between 2022 and 2025, India added roughly 53 million people, even as its fertility rate fell below the replacement level to 1.9 births per woman. Over the same period, life expectancy rose to more than 72 years, climbing roughly 10 years since 2000.
China, home to over 1.4 billion people, ranks second globally. Since 2022, its population has declined by almost 36 million, and India overtook China in 2023 as aging demographics and record-low fertility accelerated China’s population decline.
With 347 million people in 2025, the U.S. ranks third globally. However, Nigeria is projected to surpass it by 2050 as its population doubles given its younger demographic profile.
Looking over to Europe, Italy’s population has shrunk by over 1 million people in less than four years, while the population of Greece has declined by roughly 400,000. Both countries have among the highest median ages in the world, at 48 and 47 years, respectively.
