Analysis# Iran Population Analysis
Iran's population of 91.57 million ranks 17th globally and has grown 12.35% over the past decade, equating to approximately 10.1 million people added since 2014. The 1982 peak growth decade reflects the post-revolutionary population boom and Iraq-Iran War period, after which growth rates declined substantially due to family planning policies implemented in the 1990s. Comparative to the 64-year dataset (1960–2024), Iran's current growth trajectory is notably decelerated from its historical peaks, indicating demographic transition toward lower fertility rates.
