World Muslim population by percentage (Pew Research Center, 2012)
Adherents of Islam constitute the world's second largest and fastest growing major religious grouping, maintaining suggested 2017 projections in 2022. As of 2020, Pew Research Center (PEW) projections suggest there are a total of 2 billion adherents worldwide, representing 25.6% of the world population. Further studies indicate that the global spread and percentage growth of Islam is primarily due to relatively high birth rates and a youthful age structure. Conversion to Islam does not have much impact on the overall growth of the Muslim population, as the number of people converting to Islam is roughly equal to the number of those leaving the faith. According to another study published in 2015 by PEW, Islam is expected to experience a modest gain of 3 million adherents through religious conversion between 2010 and 2050, although this modest impact will make Islam, compared with other religions, the second largest religion in terms of net gains through religious conversion after religiously unaffiliated.
