Population of Philippines: overview

Philippines has a population of 116,786,962 according to the latest official estimates (2025), the 14th largest in the world. Roughly 1.4% of humanity — about one in every 70 people on the planet — lives in Philippines. Philippines is part of the East Asia & Pacific region and its capital is Manila.

The population is growing steadily, at 0.81% per year. In absolute terms that meant roughly 943,292 additional people over the past year. That growth comes despite net emigration of about 149,315 people in 2025.

Population density is relatively high at about 385 people per km², spread across 298,170 km² of land. A slim urban majority has emerged, with 56% of people living in cities.

The population is young, with a median age of 26.1 years. Fertility, at 1.89 children per woman, hovers just below the 2.1 replacement level. Life expectancy at birth is 70.0 years (2024).

UN medium-variant projections point to continued growth, reaching 134.37 million by 2050 (15% above today's level). The 2030 projection is 121,408,895.
