UK Population Surge: A Decade of Growth

The UK population is expected to grow from 67.6 million in 2022 to 72.5 million by 2032, primarily driven by net migration of 4.9 million people, according to the Office for National Statistics.

The UK population is set for significant growth over the next decade, rising from an estimated 67.6 million in mid-2022 to 72.5 million in mid-2032, according to the Office for National Statistics.

This projected increase over ten years is largely attributed to net migration, which the ONS reports will account for 4.9 million new residents.
