Global Population Set to Hit 9.7 Billion People by 2050

Description

According to the latest UN projections, despite a continuing slowdown in the rate of population growth, it is “almost inevitable” that the number of people on the planet will rise from 7.3 billion today to 9.7 billion in 2050. Ten years ago, the world population was growing by 1.24% annually; today, the percentage has dropped to 1.18% – or roughly another 83 million people a year. The overall growth rate, which peaked in the late 1960s, has been falling steadily since the 1970s. The UN report attributes the slowdown to the near-global decline in fertility rates – measured as the average number of children born to a woman over her lifetime – even in Africa, where the rates remain the highest.

This announcement follows the launch of GMC in South Korea in 2023 with the GMC Sierra LD pickup truck, pioneering the premium pickup market in the country.These new markets will bolster the brand’s established operations in the U.S., Mexico, Canada and Middle East, and reflects GMC’s incredible momentum and appeal on a global scale.GMC finished 2023 in the U.S. with an increase in retail sales calendar-year-to-date (6.5%), resulting in the best overall sales performance since 2017. A key enabler to this success was the Sierra LD and HD nameplates, achieving their best combined year of sales on record and sixth consecutive year of segment share growth. Additionally, production of the HUMMER EV Pickup and SUV continues to ramp up as excitement and enthusiasm remain high for the all-electric supertruck, which saw retail sales double from 2022 to 2023.The brand also sold the highest annual volume of both Denali (34%) and AT4 (19%) trims ever, driving record average transaction prices for GMC.
