The most commonly cited forecast is the United Nations’ World Population Prospects: the UN (medium/“median” variant) projects a world population of about 9.7 billion people in 2050 (roughly 9.7–9.8 billion).

There is uncertainty: depending on fertility and mortality scenarios, plausible outcomes for 2050 are roughly in the 9.0–10.5 billion range (lower- and higher-fertility variants give different results). If you want, I can give the UN’s regional or country-by-country 2050 estimates, or compare projections from other sources.
