About: Countries by Population Growth Rate 2026
Overview of the data behind this chart
Countries ranked by annual population growth rate as a percentage in 2026, according to UN World Population Prospects 2024 revision estimates. Sub-Saharan African nations continue to record the world's fastest population growth — Niger's annual growth rate of approximately 3.7% means its population doubles every 19 years, a demographic trajectory that places extraordinary pressure on food systems, education infrastructure, healthcare, and employment creation in one of the world's least developed economies.
