How many babies are born in Indonesia?

4.42 million babies born in Indonesia in 2026. That is 3.34% of all births worldwide, and the 6th largest of any country. UN projection

2024–2100 uses the UN World Population Prospects 2024 medium scenario, based on assumptions about fertility, mortality and migration. These are projections, not observed births or guaranteed outcomes. Uncertainty increases further into the future; this site does not display prediction intervals.

What the numbers show

The highest annual births in Indonesia among estimates through 2023 were in 2012, at about 5.16M. That is roughly 63 times the estimated ~81.7K births a year in 1 CE.

At 2.08 children per woman, fertility in Indonesia is below the level of about 2.1 that would hold a population steady over the long run without migration.

How many babies are born in Indonesia each year?

An estimated 4.42 million babies are born in Indonesia in 2026, according to the UN World Population Prospects 2024 medium projection. That is about 12,100 a day and 3.34% of all births worldwide.

Indonesia has an estimated 15.4 births per 1,000 people in 2026, and a total fertility rate of 2.08 children per woman.

Where these numbers come from

2026 figures are the UN World Population Prospects 2024 medium scenario. UN estimates cover 1950–2023; projections cover 2024–2100. Earlier years come from Gapminder’s reconstructions (1800–1949) and a model applied to HYDE population estimates (before 1800). The full chain is set out in the methodology, and every source is listed on the sources page.
