About this chart

Indonesia climbed from 7th place in the world in 1950 to 4th in 2023, as its population grew from 68.8 million to 281.2 million. It stood at 131.8 million in 1975 and 216.1 million in 2000, so it has roughly quadrupled in seven decades. Between 2000 and 2023 it added about 65 million people.

The climb is projected to end in the 2050s. The UN medium scenario puts the peak at about 322.6 million in 2058, then a decline to about 317.7 million in 2075 and 295.5 million in 2100, close to where the country stands around 2030. Indonesia's rank is projected to fall back to 6th in 2050 and 8th in 2100. Source: UN World Population Prospects 2024, estimates through 2023.
