About this chart

Morocco's population grew about fourfold in seven decades, from 8.9 million in 1950 to 37.7 million in 2023, yet its world rank went the wrong way: 38th in 1950, 41st in 2023. The numbers passed 17.2 million in 1975 and 28.4 million in 2000, while faster-growing countries overtook it in the rankings.

The UN medium projection has growth tapering to a peak of about 43.7 million in 2058, after 40.0 million in 2030 and 43.4 million in 2050. The line then falls to about 42.5 million in 2075 and 37.9 million in 2100, essentially back to the 2023 size. Morocco's projected rank is 50th in 2050 and 57th in 2100.
