Top 10 Most Populated Countries In The World- China Or India, Which Ranks First In 2025?

Top 10 Most Populated Countries:  The population of the world has grown rapidly, and, over the decades, certain countries have become densely populated. This growth was estimated at 1 billion people needing hundreds of thousands of years, but within two centuries, the population increased by seven times. In 2011, the world's population rose to 7 billion, and United Nations projections place 2025 at 8.5 billion, 2050 at 9.7 billion, and 2100 at 10.9 billion.

As of 2025, India has reportedly surpassed China to become the most populous country in the world. India's population is expected to exceed 1.4 billion and this is fueled by high birth rates and a young population. Meanwhile, population declines in China due to aging demographics and an earlier one-child policy. The United States, Indonesia, Pakistan, Nigeria, and Brazil rank themselves on the list of the top 10 most populous countries. All of those countries will exert a substantial influence on global resources, economies and development owing to their huge populations.
