According to Statistics Norway (SSB), the population of Norway saw an increase of 33,100 in 2025, with both births and immigration contributing to this growth. Senior advisor Magnus Haug noted that the number of births exceeded the number of deaths, contributing positively to the population figures. Additionally, the migration balance was favorable, with more people moving to Norway than leaving it.

The birth rate saw a notable uptick, with 1,400 more births reported in 2025 compared to 2024. However, immigration figures showed a decline, with 10,800 fewer people moving to Norway in 2025 than the previous year. This significant drop in immigration included a notable reduction in the number of Ukrainian citizens relocating to the country, with 7,500 fewer individuals from Ukraine compared to previous immigration rates.

These population trends highlight ongoing demographic changes in Norway, where natural population growth through births remains strong despite a decrease in immigration. The net increase in population has implications for various sectors, including labor markets and social services, as Norway navigates its evolving demographic landscape.
