Comoros’ population rose to 0.88 m people in 2025.

Neither way is good in itself. More people means more workers and customers, and it also means more demand for classrooms, clinics and homes. Fewer people would shift those pressures the other way, so the direction carries no verdict on its own. The latest figure is 0.88 million, from January 2025, against 0.87 million a year earlier, a rise of 1.9%. Since 2016 the low was 0.74 million, in January 2016, and the January 2025 figure is the highest in that span.

Why it matters. A population of 0.88 million is a small domestic market, so firms in Comoros sell to a limited number of buyers. Growth of 1.9% a year adds households that need housing and school places. The state has to plan services for a population well above its 2016 level of 0.74 million.
