There will be much more globalization till 2025 than what has been till now. Wealth will be shifted from west to east. Trends of the world will be more and more competitive.

Some Important projections for 2025 :

World population which was 6.5 billion in 2005 will move to 8 billion in 2025. This will lead to the scarcity of resources. One interesting fact that comes is that those people who are considered as poor ones will shrink by 23% but on the other hand the global income of these poor will also shrink by 40%. As now, then also China and India will be the most popular for population.At that time, nearly half of India’s population of 1.5 billion will be under the age of 30. India will be amongst one of the largest economies in the world in 2025. But on the other hand, it will continue its illiteracy which will be nearly 30-35 % at that time. In 2025, only 16% of world's population will live in the west as compared to 24% in 1980. A huge chances of unemployment is likely to occur in the western countries. As a result of inequalities, racism etc., violence is also expected there. Some countries are expected to have the populations more than their capacity to hold including Pakistan, Afghanistan, Yemen, Ethiopia etc. Currently 19 mega cities of the world will also include 8 more mega cities in 2025. War will be for the sake of resources, food etc amongst the countries, which will be boosted by climate changes. China is expected to have a great military power, second largest economy, and it will be known more for polluting the environment worsely. India will come out with a blast in its IT services. It will be having much more skilled engineers in IT sector than any other country. Countries like China, India, and Russia, which are having largest reserves of coal in the world, will use this option more precisely at that time for their energy resources. The consumption of gas will grow by 60% in 2025. 3 countries, namely Russia, Iran, Qatar will be in prime position for holding 57% of world's natural gas. Climatic changes will reduce size of certain states and the equator areas are likely to have more health issues till at that time. There can be water conflicts in the countries having himalayan belt due to the climatic changes there following water scarcity. Pakistan will be needing a leadership that should save it from failing in front of any other countries at that time. Still, from the current situation, it is predicted to be in a bit better situation due to advancement of technologies, but further it may be suppressed by its increased population problems.
