Asia Population Peaks by 2040 Under 5 Billion

Recent census for India and China have reported sharper drops in birthrates even before COVID. COVID is further suppressing birthrates. India will likely only add 100-140 million people instead of 273 million. China’s population will decline more sharply.

China, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and other asian countries that are started or are starting population declines will offset slower-growing Asian populations for an earlier population peak.

The only non-immigration based population growth in the world will soon only be from Africa.
