Overview
Syrian Arab Republic's life expectancy stood at 73.3 in 2025, a rise of +1.2 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 73.3 by 2025. Syrian Arab Republic ranked 120th globally.
Syrian Arab Republic’s life expectancy has risen steadily over the 65‑year series, climbing from a trough of 52.72 in 1960 to a peak of 73.54 in 2010, before settling at 73.31 in 2025, which places the country at rank 120 globally. The post‑1960 increase reflects improvements in health infrastructure, vaccination coverage and maternal care, although the modest dip from the 2010 high suggests that recent conflict and economic strain have curbed further gains. Compared with peer nations of similar rank, Syria’s 2025 figure of 73.31 is marginally below Bhutan’s 73.46 and Trinidad and Tobago’s 73.48, yet above Tonga’s 73.05, indicating that regional performance remains competitive despite domestic challenges. The continuing expansion of primary health services and reconstruction of damaged facilities could rekindle the upward trajectory, potentially pushing life expectancy beyond the 2010 peak in the coming decade.
