What the data shows

  • Finland: 4.01M in 1950, 4.60M in 2100 (projected). The latest estimate is 5.60M in 2023. It is projected to peak at 5.62M in 2025.

About this chart

Finland is at the top of its curve right now. The population rose from 4.0 million in 1950 to 4.7 million in 1975, 5.2 million in 2000 and 5.6 million in 2023. The UN medium projection puts the peak at about 5.62 million in 2025, barely above the latest estimate, so the turn is projected to arrive almost immediately.

From there the line slides: about 5.59 million in 2030, 5.35 million in 2050, 4.99 million in 2075 and 4.6 million in 2100, below the 1975 level. Finland's world rank has fallen from 75th in 1950 to 117th in 2023, and the projection takes it to 129th in 2050 and 130th in 2100. Source: UN World Population Prospects 2024.

Frequently asked questions

What is the population of Finland?

Finland had about 5.6 million people in 2023, the latest UN estimate, which ranks 117th in the world. The UN projects about 5.59 million by 2030.

Has Finland's population peaked?

Close to it. The UN medium projection puts the peak in 2025 at about 5.62 million, then projects a decline to about 4.6 million by 2100. Because 2025 is after the last estimate year of 2023, the peak itself is a projection.
