About this chart

Sudan's line steepens as it goes. The UN estimates about 6.2 million people in 1950, 14.1 million in 1975, 27.8 million in 2000 and 50.0 million in 2023, moving the country from 57th in the world to 30th. The slope of the line gets steeper in each period, and the UN's medium projection has it continuing upward for the rest of the century.

The medium projection keeps rising: about 58.6 million in 2030, 85.2 million in 2050, 116.3 million in 2075 and 136.9 million in 2100, with no peak inside the chart. Sudan is projected to rank 21st in 2050 and 14th in 2100. Data are from UN World Population Prospects 2024, estimates through 2023 and projections after.
