Analysis
Spain's population has been steadily increasing over the years, with a current estimate of 48,848,800 people as of 2024. This growth can be attributed to various factors, including a moderate birth rate and a relatively high life expectancy. The country's population is expected to continue growing, albeit at a slow pace, due to its aging population and low fertility rates.
