Steady Growth in Recent Years

According to the latest data from Worldometer, the population of Belgium has reached 11,714,277 as of June 12, 2024. This represents a growth of over 220,000 people since the beginning of the year. Belgium's population has been growing steadily in recent years, with an average annual growth rate of 0.6%. This growth is primarily due to a combination of natural increase (the difference between births and deaths) and net migration (the difference between immigration and emigration).

Belgium's Growing Population

Belgium is the 80th most populous country in the world, with a population density of over 380 people per square kilometer. The largest city in Belgium is Brussels, which is also the capital of the European Union. Other major cities include Antwerp, Ghent, and Liège.

The population of Belgium is expected to continue to grow in the coming years. By 2050, the population is projected to reach 12.5 million. This growth is expected to be driven by continued natural increase and net migration.
