The combined population of both China and India is estimated to be over 2.8 billion people as of 2022. Asia's population is projected to grow to 5.25 billion by 2055, or about 54% of projected world population at that time. [1] Population growth in Asia was close to 0.55% p.a. as of 2022, with highly disparate
