Throughout history, Earth's total world population, human population has estimates of historical world population, continued to grow but projections suggest this long-term trend may be coming to an end. From antiquity until the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, the global population grew very slowly, at about Estimates of historical world population, 0.04% per year. After about 1800, the growth rate accelerated to a peak of 2.1% annually during the 1962–1968 period, but since then, due to the worldwide collapse of the total fertility rate, it has slowed to 0.9% as of 2023. The global growth rate in absolute numbers accelerated to a peak of 92.8 million in 1990, but has since slowed to 70.4 million in 2023. Human population projections, Long-term projections indicate that the growth rate of the human population of the planet will continue to slow and that before the end of the 21st ...
