Analysis# Singapore Population Analysis
Singapore's population of 6.04 million in 2024 reflects a 10.37% increase over the past decade, averaging roughly 1% annual growth—modest compared to its historical trajectory. The 2008s represented the peak growth decade, after which expansion has decelerated, likely due to declining fertility rates and stricter immigration policies. At rank #111 globally, Singapore's relatively small population belies its outsized economic and geopolitical influence, a consequence of its city-state structure and limited land area.
