Sudan has an estimated population of nearly 49 million people as of 2025. The population is young, with a median age significantly below that of many other countries. Sudan’s diverse ethnic groups include Arabs, Nubians, Fur and many Nilotic peoples. More than half of the population lives in urban areas, with Khartoum as the largest city. Rapid population growth places pressure on infrastructure, education, and healthcare services. Conflict and displacement have greatly affected demographic patterns. Sudan’s population trends shape its economic and social development.
