ONS estimates population will grow 7.3% by 2032

Between mid-2022 and mid-2032, the population of the UK is projected to rise by 4.9 million (7.3%) – from an estimated 67.6 million to 72.5 million

On 28 January the Office for National Statistics published its 2022-based population projections.

It said the projections assumed higher long-term international migration than in the previous (2021-based) national projections, lower future fertility and improvements in life expectancy.

Over the 10 years between mid-2022 and mid-2032, the population of the UK was projected to rise by 4.9 million (7.3%) from an estimated 67.6 million to 72.5 million; the increase was projected to arise from net migration of 4.9 million compared with 6.8 million births and 6.8 million deaths.
