Population increase in the Middle East, 2025 to 2050

nazar.data:

The Middle East is set for a massive population boom between 2025 and 2050 — with some countries growing by tens of millions.

🇪🇬 Egypt will see the biggest surge: +43.2 million people, making its already dense population even larger.
🇮🇶 Iraq follows with +24.9 million, while 🇾🇪 Yemen is projected to grow by +29.2 million despite ongoing instability.
🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia adds +13.1 million, and 🇮🇷 Iran +9.4 million.

Meanwhile, smaller Gulf states like 🇧🇭 Bahrain (+137k) and 🇶🇦 Qatar (+500k) will also grow, though on a much smaller scale.

⚠️ These numbers highlight both opportunity and challenge: more people means a larger workforce and market, but also rising pressure on water, food, housing, and jobs in one of the world’s driest regions.
