Historical Trend
Analysis
Colombia's population has been steadily increasing over the years, with the latest data showing a total of 52,886,400 people in 2024. This growth can be attributed to a combination of factors including a decline in mortality rates and an increase in life expectancy. The country's population growth rate is expected to continue, albeit at a slower pace, due to declining fertility rates.
