This paper mainly studies the volume comparison in Finsler geometry under the condition that the weighted Ricci curvature Ric∞ has a lower bound. By using the Laplacian comparison theorems of distance function, we characterize the growth ratio of the volume coefficients. Further, some volume comparison theorems of Bishop-Gromov type are obtained.
