About this chart

Brazil's population nearly quadrupled between 1950 and 2023, from 53.4 million to 211.1 million. It passed 107.6 million in 1975 and 174.0 million in 2000, and it is the 7th most populous country in the world in 2023, up from 8th in 1950. The 23 years from 2000 to 2023 alone added about 37 million people.

The UN medium projection shows the rise ending soon. Brazil is projected to peak at about 219.3 million in 2042, hold near 217.5 million in 2050, then fall faster than it grew in the final decades: about 194.9 million in 2075 and 163.4 million in 2100, a loss of roughly 56 million from the peak. The projected world rank slides to 9th in 2050 and 12th in 2100. Source: UN World Population Prospects 2024.
