List of countries by population growth rate

Population growth rate from 2005 to 2010 according to UN

Countries with population loss between 2010 and 2015

The following lists give an overview of the population growth in the countries of the world. Population growth is the rate of change in population over a period of time. Countries and territories of the world are given according to their current population growth rate. In addition, the population development since 1950 and the forecast future development up to 2050 are given. The population growth rate is mainly influenced by the fertility rate and the average life expectancy as well as the resulting birth and death rate. Other factors influencing population growth are migration and refugee movements between countries and, in extreme cases, wars and natural disasters.

The annual population growth from the agricultural to the industrial revolution was less than 0.1% annually and was even negative in some periods. The technological and medical progress triggered by the industrial revolution made it possible to increase the global population growth to approx. 0.5% between 1800 and 1900. The main reason for this was a lower mortality rate among newborns. A further acceleration was noted at the beginning of the 20th century. 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 total size of the world's 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.

A further slowdown in global population growth is expected in the future. However, the number of people will continue to grow. The UN assumes a world population of 9.8 billion by 2050.

List by growth rate

Countries are sorted according to their population growth in 2017 according to data from the World Bank . The average annual population growth in the period from 2015 to 2020 according to data from the UN is also given. The figures may vary slightly due to different sources and time periods. Almost 90% of the countries and territories had positive population growth in 2017.
