About this chart

Türkiye's population quadrupled between 1950 and 2023 in the UN's estimates, from about 21.0 million to 87.3 million, passing 41.1 million in 1975 and 65.4 million in 2000. Its world rank barely moved over that stretch, 21st in 1950 and 18th in 2023. Growth has been steady across the whole estimate period, and the line only starts to flatten in the projection.

The medium projection shows growth ending soon: about 89.0 million in 2030 and a peak of roughly 91.4 million in 2047, then a decline to 81.6 million in 2075 and 65.3 million in 2100. The rank holds at 19th in 2050 before dropping to 41st in 2100. Data are from UN World Population Prospects 2024, which lists the country as Türkiye.
