From the mid-2000s to 2016 there has been a surge migrants to Germany from outside Europe. Of the 680,000 regular migrants, 270,000 were Muslim. Additionally, of the 1,210,000 asylum seekers, 900,000 were muslim (around 74%). Of the asylum seekers, 580,000 applicants were approved and 320,000 were denied or expected to be denied. According to the Pew Research Center, similar patterns of Muslim migration to Germany should be expected in the future. In one scenario, if all Muslim migration to Germany were to stop, the Muslim population would increase by around 1,000,000 by 2050. Even without migration, the Muslim population would grow due to the age of the current Muslim population in Germany. The median age of Muslims in Germany is 31, while the median age of non-Muslims in Germany is 47. Furthermore, Muslim women have an average of 1.9 children, while non-Muslim women have an average of 1.4 children. In another scenario from Pew Research Center, they assumed that Muslim refugee migration stops in mid 2016, while regular migration continues. In this scenario, the Muslim population would make up 10.8% of Germany's population by 2050. This population figure is slightly less than UK and France because Germany tends to receive much more refugees. On the other hand, the UK and France tend to attract much more regular Muslim Migrants. In the final scenario, the Muslim migrant inflow would continue at a high pace. By 2050, 19.7% of Germany's population would be Muslim (from 6.0%).
