According to the latest demographic statistics from the National Statistics Office of Malta, Malta's population reached an unprecedented 574,250 in 2024, with 29.4% being foreign nationals.
Population Structure: Diverse, Balanced, and Vibrant
Official data from Malta shows that the male population is approximately 305,000, accounting for 53.1%, while the female population is approximately 269,000, accounting for 46.9%. The population under 20 years old accounts for 16.1%, the population over 60 accounts for 23.7%, and the remaining population consists of young and middle-aged adults.
Even more striking is the fact that nearly one-third of Malta's population, approximately 169,000 people, are non-Maltese nationals, which fully reflects Malta's open, diverse, and inclusive social characteristics.
Immigration:
The Core Engine of Malta's Population Growth
Data shows that in 2024, Malta's net migration reached 10,081, with 75% coming from non-EU countries. This means that immigration has become a key force driving Malta's economic and population growth.
Looking back at the trends of the last decade: Since 2017, Malta has entered a period of rapid population growth (excluding the 2020-2021 pandemic lockdown period); the average annual population growth has been nearly 20,000, maintaining strong momentum; the lowest point for immigration numbers occurred in 2016 (8,600), after which it climbed year by year; it reached a peak of approximately 20,000 in 2023, and although it fell slightly in 2024, it still maintained a net growth in the tens of thousands.
It can be said that immigration is the main driver of Malta's sustained prosperity.
