Türkiye's death rate was 6.7 in 2025, ranked 138th globally. This represents a 7.7% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1960–2025.
Overview
Türkiye's death rate stood at 6.7 in 2025, a rise of +0.5 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 6.7 by 2025. Türkiye ranked 138th globally.
Türkiye's death rate has experienced significant fluctuations over the past 65 years, as evident from its all-time peak of 17.73 in 1960 to the all-time trough of 4.90 in 2013. The country's death rate had declined steadily from its peak, reaching a relatively low value of 6.68 in 2025, still above the global average. This decline is comparable to that of peer countries such as Liechtenstein, which also has a death rate of 6.72. The substantial decrease in Türkiye's death rate since 1960 reflects improvements in healthcare infrastructure and disease management. However, the recent stagnation in decline suggests that the rate of progress may be slowing. The continued aging of Türkiye's population and the potential impact of future health crises could affect the trajectory of the death rate, potentially leading to a reacceleration of decline if healthcare systems adapt effectively to emerging challenges.
