Analysis# Benin Population Analysis
Benin's population of 14.46 million in 2024 reflects sustained rapid growth, with a 31.12% increase over the past decade translating to an average annual growth rate of approximately 2.8%. At rank #75 globally, Benin's demographic trajectory remains significantly above the world average of ~0.84% annually, driven by high fertility rates characteristic of West African nations. The 1993 decade marked peak expansion, indicating that while growth has remained robust through 2024, the rate has moderated from its historical peak, a pattern consistent with gradual demographic transitions in the region.
