US-based think tank Pew Research Center (PRC) estimates that Muslims will reach 2.76 billions or 29.7 percent of the world’s population by 2050 – a rise of 1.161 billion.<\/h4>\n

According to a 2015 and 2017 study by PRC, Sub-Saharan Africa will comprise 24.3 percent of Muslims worldwide in 2050, while Asia will host around 52.8 percent – a drop from 61.7 percent in 2010.\u00a0\u00a0<\/h4>\n

The Middle East and North Africa will remain steady at 20 percent, growing by just 0.2 percent from 2010 to 2050.<\/h4>\n

Even though numbers of Islamophobic attacks are occurring at higher rates in the U.S., the community in the U.S. is expected to double from 0.9 percent to 2.1 percent.\u00a0<\/h4>\n

These figures are attributed to recent migration and demographic patterns.\u00a0<\/h4>\n

“Muslims make up a majority of the population in 49 countries around the world,” the 2017 report states.<\/h4>\n

Indonesia currently hosts the largest Muslim community with 209 million people -87.2 percent of the country’s population – which will see a rise of 50 million by the year 2050.\u00a0<\/h4>\n

Coming in second is India, with roughly 176 million Muslims, or around 14.4 percent of its population. Globally, by 2050, India will take first place with 310 million Muslims.<\/h4>\n
