Number of immigrants in EU reaches record high of 64.2 million in 2025, study shows
Germany remains the EU’s largest migrant destination, with nearly 18 million foreign-born residents and 72% of them of working age, researchers said.
- The European Union's foreign-born population reached 64.2 million in 2025, according to the Centre for Research and Analysis on Migration at RFBerlin, marking an increase of around 2.1 million people compared to 2024.
- This figure marks a significant rise from 40 million in 2010, reflecting sustained migration flows and Europe's continued economic pull over the past decade and a half.
- Germany remains the EU's largest host with nearly 18 million foreign-born residents, while Spain emerged as the fastest-growing hub after adding roughly 700,000 people over the past year to reach 9.5 million.
- Around 72 percent of these foreign-born residents are of working age, a demographic shift that researchers say supports the EU's labour force and long-term economic stability.
- Asylum applications fell 26.6% to 669,365 in 2025, though claims remain concentrated in Germany, Spain, Italy, and France, which together account for nearly three-quarters of all applications.
