What the data shows

  • India: 346.28M in 1950, 1,505.25M in 2100 (projected) (4.3× higher). The latest estimate is 1,438.07M in 2023. It is projected to peak at 1,701.28M in 2061.
  • Pakistan: 35.85M in 1950, 511.00M in 2100 (projected) (14× higher). The latest estimate is 247.50M in 2023.

About this chart

The UN projects Pakistan to reach 511.00 million people in 2100, above its 2023 estimate of 247.50 million. At the estimated endpoint, India has 1,438.07 million people against 247.50 million for Pakistan. In 1950, the corresponding totals were 346.28 million for India and 35.85 million for Pakistan. All values are population totals, rather than population density or annual growth rates.

By 2100, the UN medium-variant projection reaches 1,505.25 million people for India and 511.00 million for Pakistan. Estimates end in 2023; later values are conditional projections rather than observed counts. Future fertility, mortality and migration can move the eventual totals away from this path. Comparing the same projection variant keeps the two countries on a consistent basis.
