Below is a sortable list of countries by number of Internet users as of 2024. Internet users are defined as persons who accessed the Internet in the last 12 months from any device, including mobile phones.[Note 1] Percentage is the percentage of a country's population that are Internet users. Estimates are derived either from household surveys or from Internet subscription data.[4]
^the statistics for numbers of Internet users were obtained by multiplying an estimated percentage of people using the Internet in a given country, obtained from one source (usually the ITU), by the total population from another source (usually the U.S. Census Bureau). There are not enough significant figures in the percentage estimate for the precise Internet user counts found in the table to be meaningful. As a result, they should not be treated as precise figures or even reliable estimates.
^ CIA data combines 2020 estimate for Gaza Strip and 2021 estimate for the West Bank.
^ ITU entry averages 2012 estimates for Saint Helena (41.0%) and Ascension (37.6%), weighted with 2016 population figures (4534 and 806, respectively). Estimate for Tristan de Cuna not listed.
