Net World-India: INTERNET USER AND WORLD

THE INCREASING NUMBER OF INTERNET USER AROUND THE WORLD..

Here are some standout facts and observations that give additional perspective to the Internet usage of the top countries on the Internet.

There are a total of 1.8 billion Internet users in the world.
There are 32 countries with more than 10 million Internet users.
The top 10 countries on the Internet together have 1.17 billion Internet users. That’s 65% of all Internet users in the world.
The top 20 countries on the Internet together have 1.47 billion Internet users. That’s just under 82% of all Internet users.
India is the fourth largest country in terms of Internet users in spite of having an Internet penetration of a measly 6.9%. This thanks to its huge population.
China takes the top spot both in terms of population and Internet users. China has almost twice (1.8x) as many Internet users as the United States.
China together with the United States, the top two countries, make up half of the Internet users in the top 15.
Out of the top 20 countries, the five with the highest Internet penetration (not users) are: United Kingdom (82.5%), South Korea (81.1%), Germany (79.1%), Japan (78.2%), United States (76.3%).

By Internet penetration, we mean the share of the population made up of Internet users.

A few additional observations:

The tenth largest country on the Internet is Nigeria. So although Africa as a whole is often considered to be a bit behind the curve on the Internet, it does have a presence among the top countries.
Seven out of the top 20 countries are Asian (35%).
Five out of the top 20 countries are European (25%). Six (30%) if you also count Russia.
Three of the top 20 are English-language countries (four if you count India).
