The population peaked at 83.6 million in 2025, and is predicted to fall to 80.8 million by 2040, a 3.4% decline. The defining forces are a shrinking, ageing population sustained only by immigration, an industrial slump that has dented confidence, and a nation of renters and value-focused, high-saving consumers.
