Population growth in Taiwan 2010-2030
In 2024, the population of Taiwan decreased by around 0.86 people per thousand inhabitants (per mill). Taiwan's population declined in 2020 for the first time in decades and population decrease is expected to accelerate in the future. High fluctuations between 2020 and 2023 were mainly due to strong net migration during the COVID-19 pandemic. The natural growth rate, which denotes population growth not including the effects of net migration, was at around -2.87 per mill in 2024.
