Population of Egypt 1800-2020

Following the expulsion of the French, and the establishment of a new dynasty in Egypt by Muhammad Ali in 1805, the region that would become the country of Egypt had a population of approximately 4.23 million. Between the 1800 and the establishment of the Egyptian Republic, Egypt’s population saw steady but modest growth, with the population hitting 21.47 million by the time of the republic’s establishment in the 1952 Revolution. Following the revolution, Egypt experienced a dramatic spike in population, experiencing a doubling of its population to 43.31 million by 1980, and another doubling to 86.42 million by 2012.
