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.
