\"art-288-01-16072020\"<\/a>A further breakdown on Malaysia\u2019s population estimates for 2020 in infographic format by the Department of Statistics, Malaysia<\/em><\/p>\n

The number of people living in Malaysia for the year 2020 is estimated at 32.7 million.<\/p>\n

According to the Department of Statistics, Malaysia (DOSM), this is an increase from 32.5 million last year, representing an annual growth rate of 0.4 percent.<\/p>\n

The department notes that the decline in annual population growth rate is due to the decrease in the number of non-citizens from 3.1 million in 2019 to 3.0 million in 2020.<\/p>\n

This could be attributed to the closure of Malaysia\u2019s borders and the return of foreigners to their respective countries during the Movement Control Order (MCO) following the spread of COVID-19 across the globe.<\/p>\n

However, the population growth rate for citizens remains stable at 1.1 percent, increasing from 29.4 million last year to 29.7 million this year.<\/p>\n

DOSM\u2019s release of Malaysia and its states\u2019 current population estimates feature the mid-year estimation of the population, providing key updates, trends and the latest population scenario.<\/p>\n

The population estimates are based on the Population and Housing Census 2010, which has taken into account births (fertility), deaths (mortality) and migration components.<\/p>\n

DOSM prepares this mid-year estimates by using the bottom-up approach, in which the population is estimated in accordance to state, single age, ethnic group and sex. Malaysia\u2019s total population is the sum of all its states\u2019 population estimates.<\/p>\n
