Kenya's population is on a consistent upward trajectory, with projections indicating a substantial increase between 2020 and 2045.
Starting from an estimated 48.8 million in 2020, the population was projected to reach 52.2 million in 2024, comprising approximately 26 million males and 26.4 million females.
This growth is anticipated to continue, with figures expected to hit 57.8 million by 2030, 62.2 million by 2035, and 66.3 million by 2040.
By 2045, Kenya's population is projected to reach 70.23 million.
These projections, derived from the Kenya Vital Statistics Report 2024 by KNBS, underscore the country's rapid demographic expansion and its implications for planning and resource allocation.
