Analysis# Senegal Population Analysis
Senegal's population of 18.5 million in 2024 represents a 30.74% increase over the past decade, translating to an average annual growth rate of approximately 2.8%—significantly above the global average of 0.84%. The nation ranks 68th globally by population size, with growth peaking in the 2010s before moderating in recent years, reflecting typical demographic transition patterns as fertility rates gradually decline. This sustained expansion places considerable pressure on infrastructure, employment, and service provision across West Africa's most stable economy.
