There are many reasons for this.

More and more non-Muslims are converting to Islam. The birth-rate in Muslim-majority countries is high and this adds to the increase in population. Also, there are very few conversions from Islam to other religions so this high retention rate is also a cause of the increase in the Muslim population. Additionally, in most Muslim-majority countries, converting out of Islam or becoming openly atheist is either criminal or leads to ostracism by family and friends.
