In 2023, one nation overtook China to claim a title China had held for centuries.
India became the world's most populous country in 2023, surpassing China's population of roughly 1.4 billion people, a title China had held for centuries thanks to its historically large and long-established population base. India's population has continued growing steadily due to a relatively young population structure and birth rates, while China's growth slowed sharply and even began reversing in recent years due to decades of lower birth rates.
China remains an enormous country with over a billion people, but it no longer holds the top spot it occupied for so long. The United States, while one of the most populous countries in the world, has a population only a fraction the size of either India's or China's.
This shift has significant long-term implications, since a country's population size and age structure affect everything from its workforce and economic growth potential to its future consumer markets and global political influence.
