According to the United Nations World Population Prospects 2024, the estimated population of Malaysia is 36,773,135, growing at an annual rate of 1.18%. That works out to a net change of approximately 1,151 people per day or 47 per hour.
The population change in Malaysia is driven by three components: approximately 439,747 births per year and 192,887 deaths per year, plus net migration. Together these components produce the overall growth rate of 1.18% per year.
The total fertility rate stands at 1.53 children per woman. Since this is below the replacement level of 2.1, the population of Malaysia would decline over the long term without net immigration.
