Peru's net migration stood at 11,931 in 2025, a decline of +6,475 from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 3,559 by 2026. Peru ranked 177th globally.
Peru's net migration has experienced significant fluctuations over the past six decades, with the country witnessing a substantial increase in recent years. The all-time peak of 339,067 in 2018 marked a notable shift from the trough of -236,745 in 2007, indicating a significant reversal in migration trends. The latest available data from the World Bank shows a net migration of 11,931.00 in 2025, ranking Peru 177 globally. For comparison, Israel, a peer country with a similar ranking, has reported a net migration of 11,466.00, while Peru's figure is lower than that of Somalia, Fed. Rep. at 12,077.00. The drastic change in migration patterns is likely attributed to a combination of factors, including economic conditions, political stability, and geographical circumstances. Looking ahead, any significant changes in Peru's economic growth, particularly in the agricultural sector, could potentially influence the country's net migration trajectory, potentially leading to a further increase in inward migration.
