When people ask about “Jain religion growth rate,” they usually mean population growth.

Here is what we reliably know (mainly for India, where most Jains live):

1. India – last official data (Census 2011)

- Jains in India (2011): about 44.5 lakh (4.45 million) – about 0.4% of the population. ( gramener.com) - Decadal growth (2001–2011): Jain population grew by about 5.4% in that 10‑year period. ( business-standard.com) - For comparison (2001–2011 decadal growth in India): - Overall population: ~17.7% - Hindus: ~16.8% - Muslims: ~24.6% - Jains: ~5.4% (one of the slowest growth rates among major groups). ( business-standard.com)

That means the Jain share of India’s population is very small and growing much more slowly than the national average.

1. No newer official Indian census data yet

- The 2011 Census is still the latest complete official count for religious populations. The next census is planned around 2026–2027, so no official updated Jain growth rate is available yet. ( economictimes.indiatimes.com)

1. Worldwide

- Globally, Jains are well under 1 crore (10 million). - Large growth is mainly due to migration (for example, to North America and Europe), not high birth rates; fertility among Jains is generally low. ( brill.com)

Simple summary:

• Jain population is small,
• Growing slowly in India (about 5–6% over the last measured decade),
• And is demographically stable/low‑growth worldwide, with some increase in countries where Jains have migrated.
