Ethiopians make up about 135 million people on the planet, using Ethiopia’s 2025 population estimate of 135,472,051. Another major source gives a very similar figure of 135,500,000 for 2025.

Quick Scoop

  • Ethiopia’s population is about 135.5 million in 2025.
  • A closely matching estimate puts it at 135,472,051.
  • That is roughly 1.65% of the world’s population.

One note

If you meant people of Ethiopian ancestry worldwide , that number is harder to pin down because it depends on diaspora estimates and self- identification rather than a single official count.
