Analysis# Colombia Population Analysis
Colombia's population of 52.9 million represents the 28th largest globally, with a 13.57% growth rate over the past decade translating to roughly 6.4 million people added since 2014. The nation's demographic trajectory has decelerated significantly from its peak growth period in the 1960s, reflecting typical Latin American fertility decline patterns as development increases. Current growth momentum places Colombia behind regional peers like Brazil and Mexico in absolute terms, yet maintains moderate expansion compared to developed nations with near-zero growth rates.
