The provisional estimate of Hong Kong’s population at the end of 2025 was 7,510,800, up 0.1% from a year earlier, the Census & Statistics Department announced today.

There were 31,100 births and 50,000 deaths, resulting in a natural decrease of 18,900.

The department attributed the overall population increase to effective talent attraction and labour importation measures, which offset the impact of natural population decrease.

The number of usual residents was 7,232,900, while there were 266,000 mobile residents.
