Malawi, the next one in our list of countries where Muslim population will increase the most by 2050 is one of a few countries in which Muslim population, compared with other religious groups, will not record the greatest increase over the next thirty years. Their number will rise from 1.93 million (2010) to 6.42 million (2050), which is a 233% increase, while the number of Christians, which are and which will remain the majority in the country, will rise by 330%. The greatest percent of the country’s Muslims live near Malawi Lake, with more than half of them residing in two districts, Mangochi and Machinga, which are situated at the southern end of the lake.
