The actual number of bits is largely irrelevant to what we're talking
about here.  The real determinant of the problem is the number of
discrete allocations and assignments announced, and this will be a
function of the number of discrete networks required to service the
globe.

This will increase as connectivity increases, but it will ultimately
plateau at some stage, or at least it will reach a stage where growth
(i.e. rate of increase) will drop significantly.  And as I said already,
because of the allocation policies in place, ipv6 table growth will
always trail the equivalent network prefix requirement for ipv4.
