UK Population to Peak in 2050s Before Declining, ONS Projects

The UK population is projected to peak in the 2050s before declining, with deaths expected to outnumber births annually from 2026, according to Office for National Statistics projections. The population will reach 71 million by 2034, growing by just 1.7 million in the next decade—far slower than the previous decade. Net migration is expected to add 2.2 million people between 2024-2034, down from previous estimates, as the post-Brexit immigration peak is now viewed as a temporary blip.
