Despina WilsonMay 5, 2025May 5, 2025Stats Gate

According to recent data from CEOWORLD magazine, India currently holds the first position in terms of population size, with over 1.46 billion people. China follows closely in second place, with just over 1.41 billion people. As of 2025, the global population is nearly 8.2 billion and is projected to reach around 10.3 billion by the 2080s, after which it is expected to decline. The increase in the world’s population can be attributed to advancements in healthcare, sanitation, and general living conditions, resulting in lower mortality rates, particularly among infants and children. Additionally, the global population’s median age has steadily increased for decades. Asia is the most populous continent on Earth, hosting 11 of the 20 largest countries. It significantly leads in global population by continent, boasting four times as many inhabitants as Africa.

Despina Wilson

I am a senior editor and data journalist at CEOWORLD magazine. My job involves using infographics to report on news topics related to business and policy, with a global perspective. I hold a master's degree in journalism and have worked for newspapers and reporting projects in both the US and the UK, giving me a unique transatlantic perspective. I believe that data can enhance coverage of all news topics. As a contributor, I plan cover a wide range of issues, such as gender equality, climate change, labor, and immigration, using relevant statistics and insightful visualizations.
