Analysis# Oman Population Analysis
Oman's population of 5.28 million represents a 31.96% increase over the past decade, positioning it as the 121st most populous nation globally. The 2012s decade marked the country's peak growth period within the 1960–2024 timeframe, though the current 10-year growth rate indicates sustained but moderating expansion compared to that peak. This growth trajectory reflects Oman's oil-driven economic development and subsequent migration patterns, particularly the influx of expatriate workers during periods of rapid infrastructure expansion.
