An Asian Swede is someone born in or having ancestry from Asia, or a former citizen of Asia, who now lives in Sweden. In 2015, Sweden's Asian population grew by 110,000, mainly due to record immigration. A lot of the emigrants in Sweden are from Asia; Thailand, China, Vietnam, Korea, Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, India, and Pakistan, are the most represented countries.
