Overview
Comoros's population growth stood at 1.88% in 2025, a decline of +0.01pp from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 1.88% by 2025. Comoros ranked 60th globally.
Comoros’ population growth rate has hovered near 2 percent for most of the past six decades, registering 1.88 percent in 2025, which places the archipelago at the 60th position worldwide. The rate rose modestly from an early‑record 1.76 percent in 1961 to a brief surge of 3.40 percent in 1975, the highest point in the series, before retreating to a low of 1.56 percent in 1965. Since the mid‑1970s the growth has settled into a narrow band, remaining close to the rates of peers such as Luxembourg (1.86 percent) and Ghana (1.85 percent). The sustained, moderate expansion reflects limited demographic transition and relatively high fertility, yet it is tempered by out‑migration and health constraints. If fertility continues to decline and migration patterns intensify, the growth trajectory could ease further, potentially moving Comoros into the lower half of global rankings in the coming years.
