The annual population growth from the agricultural to the industrial revolution was less than 0.1% annually and was even negative in some periods. With the beginning of the industrial revolution, global population growth began to accelerate significantly. The peak was reached in 1962 with a 2.1% increase in the world population . Since then, the rate of growth has been falling and stood at 1.16% in 2017. The impact of this growth on the size of the world population has been enormous. The billion mark was first reached at the beginning of the 19th century and within the 20th century the number of people grew from 1.7 billion to 6.1 billion. In 2019 the world population was 7.7 billion.
