On January 1, 2024, the population of the EU grew from 354.5 million in 1960 to 449.2 million, an increase of 94.7 million.

After contracting in 2020 and 2021 due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the EU’s population grew for the second year in a row, rising from 447.6 million on January 1, 2023 to 449.2 million on January 1, 2024. This was confirmed of Eurostat data.

According to the statistics agency, negative natural changes offset the positive balance of migration.

Thus, on January 1, 2024, the population of the EU has grown from 354.5 million in 1960 to 449.2 million, an increase of 94.7 million people.

It has been noted that over the past decade, the population of the EU has increased by an average of 0.6 million people per year between 2015 and 2024.

Over time, the population of EU countries has ranged from 0.6 million in Malta to 83.4 million in Germany.

While Germany, France and Italy together make up almost half (47%) of the total population of the EU.

And, although the total population of the EU will increase in 2024, however, not all EU countries will register an increase. In particular, seven countries recorded a decrease in the period from January 1, 2023 to January 1, 2024. The largest reductions were noted in Poland (-132,800 people), Greece (-16,800) and Hungary (-15,100).

In turn, the greatest growth was observed in Spain (+525,100), Germany (+330,000) and France (+229,000).

We previously reported that Switzerland’s population in 2023 will grow at its fastest pace in 60 years thanks to record immigration, including thousands from war-torn Ukraine.
