Number of Facebook users per country - 4 February 2009
4. Feb 09 | Web |I thought it is high time I look into Facebook statistics again (previous data is from November 2008 and June 2008) so here is the latest - 4th February 2009 Google Docs spreadsheet.
This time I have added two more fields (Male interested in men and Female interested in women) and a column with % change in approximate number of users from November 08 to February 09. It is interesting that only two countries in the world had negative trend (Chile and Egypt) while the number of Facebook users increased for 15.9%. The fastest growing countries were: Macedonia 51.35%, Italy 55.59%, Czech Republic 59.37%, Tunisia 62.65% and Slovakia 69.12%.
Now the total number of Facebook users grew to 148,068,360 - yes, over 148 million!
And the top 5 countries (by the number of users) are:
- US (United States) 45,344,820 users
- UK (United Kingdom) 15,773,040 users
- Canada 11,006,140 users
- Turkey 8,107,820 users
- France 7,006,320 users
Check the data for your country!
hey, next time u run the #s, consider doing a percentage of population on fb column (e.g., if there are 50mm usa fb users, and the pop is 300mm, the “percentage of population on fb” would be 16.7%)
I agree with Brad that it would be very nice to have a “penetration percentage” for each country by dividing the number of Facebook users in each country by the number of people in that country.
