Algeria's population growth rate has been steadily declining over the years, with the latest value standing at 1.34% in 2025, ranking 90th globally. This is significantly lower than its all-time peak of 4.55% in 1976, during a period of high fertility rates and rapid population expansion. The country's population growth rate hit an all-time trough of 1.33% in 2003, before slightly recovering. Algeria's current growth rate is comparable to that of its peers, such as Spain at 1.33% and slightly lower than Lithuania and Kazakhstan at 1.35%. As the country's population growth rate continues to stabilize, any significant changes in fertility rates or mortality rates would be likely to alter the trajectory of this trend, potentially impacting the country's demographic and economic landscape in the years to come.
