In 2025, global births are expected to remain highly concentrated in a relatively small number of countries. This visualization shows where the world’s newest citizens are being born and highlights the regions driving global population growth.

The data for this visualization comes from the UN World Population Prospects 2024 via Our World in Data.

Asia Remains the Global Center of Births

Asia accounts for the largest share of births worldwide, driven primarily by populous countries with relatively young populations.

India leads by a wide margin, with more than 23 million births expected in 2025—nearly one in six births globally.

China follows with about 8.7 million births, despite decades of declining fertility. Other major contributors include Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Indonesia, underscoring Asia’s continued demographic weight.

Africa’s Rapid Population Growth

Africa is the fastest-growing region by births, reflecting high fertility rates and youthful populations across much of the continent. Nigeria stands out with an estimated 7.6 million births in 2025, more than all of Europe combined, which is projected to see about 6.3 million.

Several other African countries, including the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Tanzania, and Egypt, also rank among the global leaders.

Europe and East Asia Face Demographic Headwinds

In contrast, Europe and parts of East Asia show relatively low birth numbers due to aging populations and persistently low fertility rates.

Germany, the United Kingdom, France, and Italy each record fewer than 750,000 births annually.

Japan, once a major contributor to global births, is also projected to see fewer than 750,000 births in 2025, reflecting its long-running demographic decline. These patterns raise concerns about labor force growth and long-term economic sustainability in many advanced economies.
