About this chart

Egypt has added about 93 million people since 1950, taking the population from 21.2 million to 114.5 million in 2023. It stood at 38.9 million in 1975 and 73.1 million in 2000, and over the same stretch it moved up from 20th to 14th in the world. Between 2000 and 2023 alone it added about 41 million people.

The UN medium projection shows growth continuing but flattening. Egypt is projected at about 127.1 million in 2030, 161.6 million in 2050, 190.5 million in 2075 and 201.9 million in 2100. The last 25 years add only about 11 million people, so the curve is close to levelling off at the end. Its rank is projected to be 11th in both 2050 and 2100.
