The number of asylum seekers in Sweden peaked in 2015 with 162,877 applications, following the high influx of refugees to Europe that year. In 2016, the number of asylum seekers dropped rapidly, falling to 29,000. Since then, the number of asylum seekers in Sweden decreased gradually, falling to 11,400 in 2021, a number influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2023, the number stood at 12,600, which was still lower than in 2020. In 2022, 3,400 grants of asylum were accepted in Sweden.
