It is anticipated that the number of Muslims worldwide will rise significantly by 2030.  The current state of affairs indicates that by 2030, there will be over a million Muslims living in 79 nations, a substantial shift from the current 72 countries.
 
About 20% of Muslims worldwide will settle in the Middle east and North Africa, while the majority (about 60%) will live in the Asia-Pacific area. In the meantime, the proportion of Muslims worldwide is probably going to rise in Sub-Saharan Africa, where there will be more Muslims in nations like nigeria than in Egypt.

This shift can be attributed to several important variables, including immigration, fertility rates, and advancements in healthcare that lower infant mortality.  The majority of Muslims worldwide will reside in the Asia-Pacific area by 2030.  The number of nations in this region with sizable Muslim populations will rise, including Bangladesh, India, pakistan, and Indonesia. In particular, pakistan has the potential to overtake indonesia as the largest nation with a majority of Muslims.

Due to the youthful population, high Muslim fertility rates are the main driver of population expansion in the Asia-Pacific areas.  The young people in this area are also starting to enter their prime reproductive years, which is quickening the rate of population expansion. In nations with a majority of Muslims, improvements in economic conditions and health facilities have also helped to lower newborn mortality rates, which has further fueled population growth.
 
The number of Muslims in europe and America will continue to rise, and by 2030, the number of Muslims in these regions will also rise, albeit as a minority within the Muslim population.  By 2030, the percentage of Muslims in europe is predicted to increase from 6% in 2010 to 8%.  In Western and Northern europe, where the Muslim population may reach double digits (%) in numerous nations, this increase will be particularly noteworthy.

In the United Kingdom, the percentage of Muslims will increase from 4.6% in 2010 to 8.2% in 2030.  This percentage will rise from the current 7.5% to 10.3% in France.  It is anticipated that the percentage of Muslims in austria would rise to 9.3%, a substantial increase from 2010.  Additionally, the number of Muslims in America will more than double.  Due in major part to immigration and high Muslim fertility rates, the population is predicted to increase from 2.6 million in 2010 to 6.2 million by 2030.  As a result, the proportion of Muslims in America's overall population will increase from 0.8% in 2010 to 1.7% in 2030.
 
Additionally, the number of Muslims in sub-Saharan Africa will rise.  By 2030, Nigeria's Muslim population may overtake Egypt's.  This region's Muslim population is predicted to increase at a faster rate than that of other nations in the region.
