Analysis# Niger Population Analysis
Niger's population of 27.03 million in 2024 reflects explosive growth, with a 40.68% increase over the past decade positioning it as the 55th most populous nation globally. The 2012s decade marked the peak growth period across the 1960–2024 timespan, indicating that while expansion remains substantial, the rate of increase has moderated from its historical maximum. This trajectory suggests Niger is transitioning from its most rapid expansion phase, though demographic momentum from a young population base will likely sustain elevated growth rates in the coming decade.
