growing population
Rising number of people
A growing population is one increasing in number over time.
The phrase appears constantly in discussions of demographics, urban planning, and resource management: The growing population has strained the city's infrastructure.
It can describe any group—a country, a species, a customer base—that is gaining members rather than losing them.
