1. INTERNET USAGE AND WORLD POPULATION STATISTICS
The World Population and Internet User information is the main demographic content for this web site. It has been collected by our webmaster since 2000 and is displayed in the statistics pages. There are seven individual statistical tables for each of the six main geographical regions of the world (Africa, America, Asia, Europe, Middle East, and Oceania), and a general world summary page called
the big picture.

Additionally, a top Internet usage countries table, a most penetrated countries table, a most populated countries table and a unique table containing Internet usage by languages are included. Other analysis are being added periodically, for example: Facebook usage, Spanish speakers, etc. For information on the sources, definitions, the methodology and details about the data displayed please read the following notes.


1.1 INTERNET USAGE

Before we can measure or forecast Internet Usage, we must first answer a basic question: Who is an Internet user? Research firms, analysts, consultancies and other sources all disagree on how to answer this seemingly simple question.

The ITU subscribes to the definition of an Internet user as someone aged 2 years old and above, who went online in the past 30 days. The US Department of Commerce, in contrast, defines Internet users as those 3 years or older who 'currently use' the Internet. The CNNIC defines the Internet user as a Chinese citizen, aged 6 or above, who uses the Internet at least one hour per week.

Other market researchers and market research organizations have their own definitions. For example, Nielsen Online in its reports presents two figures for the Internet users: the first is "Active Internet User", which is defined as the number of users that viewed the Internet at least once during the last month, and the other figure is, of course, the total universe estimate of Internet users in a country, region, or city.

We believe that a definition must be as general and as simple as possible. Therefore, for analyzing and comparing Internet users on a global scale, IWS adopts as its benchmark a broad definition and defines an Internet User as anyone currently in capacity to use the Internet. In our opinion, there are only two (2) requirements for a person to be considered an Internet User:
(1) The person must have
available access to an Internet connection point, and
(2) The person must have the
basic knowledge required to use web technology.

That's it. No need to make complex something that is really quite simple. In many Third World countries one same Internet connection may be shared by many individual users. Due to this reason, Internet users generally outnumber the amount of Internet access subscribers and also outnumber the telephone lines available in each country.

The Internet today offers users more options for access, for example: mobile, G2, G3, and so forth. Our definition and stats (statistics) consider ALL the ways a user or a subscriber connects. Internet World Stats numbers represent the "universe" of Internet users in any region, country or territory. These figures are useful for estimating Internet market size at a global, regional or local scale.
1.2 INTERNET GROWTH
In order to establish the relative growth rate of the Internet on a global basis, we compare the current (latest) Internet usage figures for each country or region with the year 2000, our baseline year for Internet usage figures, and express this ratio as a percentage. For information on the Historic Internet Growth data please click here, a new page will open. For the Current Internet World Usage Statistics, visit this page.

1.3 INTERNET PENETRATION RATE
The Internet Penetration Rate corresponds to the percentage of the total population of a given country or region that uses the Internet. Internet users are defined in 1.1. No adjustments have been made for infants or illiteracy in the Internet penetration rate calculations. Indeed very few countries have 100% literacy, Norway is one of them. Regarding the children, they are early adopters, when given the chance to surf the Internet.

For countries with penetration rates above 50%, the data will be marked in bold letters in the corresponding pages. The list of the countries with Internet Penetration Rates over 50% may be found
here. At Internet World Stats we support the 50x15 Initiative and invite you to do so also. Read about this important project for the future growth of the Internet at the Digital Divide page.

1.4 WORLD POPULATION
It is important to point out that Internet usage and population data go hand in hand. In order to determine the Internet Penetration Rate (IPR) for each country and region of the world we require accurate and up-to-date demographic data. As of March 1st, 2017, we will use demographic (population) based on data published by the United Nations (UN), and contained in their excellent website at:
United Nations - Population Division, where you can also find detailed demographic information for the world and for all the countries of the world.

Special note on China: Hong Kong (Xianggang) and Macao (Aomen) are both part of China, but these territories as well as Taiwan are reported separately for Internet Usage Statistical purposes. Therefore the total estimated population for China mainland has been adjusted accordingly in our statistical tables and charts.

Special note on Mexico: For statistical reasons, and following the United Nations Statistical Department, Mexico has been included together with the seven Central American countries. See
United Nations Statistics Division methods and classifications of macro geographical (continental) regions, geographical sub-regions, and selected economic and other groupings. Please take note that Greenland has been included in North America.

Special note on the term: Latin America and the Caribbean: this term is used here in its broad sense and refers to all the geographic part of the Americas south of the United States, and includes English-speaking countries such as Belize, in Central America, Falkland Islands in South America, as well as Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana. For further information on contemporary and traditional usage of the term Latin America, please see
Latin America .

Special note on Country Codes: For practical reasons, and following a logical approach, we use and recommend the use of standardized symbols to identify the various countries. For this purpose, ISO-3166 is the norm we follow, see the
International Organization Statistics Division .
This ISO-standard is used throughout all the IWS website, since its creation in 2001.

1.5 SOURCES FOR THE STATISTICS
The data displayed at Internet World Stats comes from various information sources: mainly from the following
Data Research Sources and the following organizations: The Nielsen Company, from the International Telecommunications Union (ITU). Additional sources are the GfK Group, the CIA Fact Book, local NIC, local ISP, other public such as official Internet regulating agencies, and direct information from trustworthy and reliable research private sources. Nielsen Onlines's data corresponds to the home plus work panel current digital media total universe estimate. For growth comparison purposes, usage stats from ITU for the year 2000 are utilized as "benchmark", when available, as explained above in 1.2.

The Nielsen Company is a global standard for Internet audience measurement and analysis and is the industry's premier source for online advertising intelligence. This service covers 70 percent of the world's Internet usage (previously known as Nielsen//NetRatings) offers syndicated Internet and digital media research reports and custom-tailored data to help companies gain valuable insight into their business. For more information, please visit The Nielsen Company.

The
International Telecommunications Union (ITU) is an international organization established in 1865, which today is part of the United Nations. For further details and information, please visit their web site at www.itu.int.

The Internet usage and population data presented here are the best estimates available, however a reasonable margin of error should be allowed for. Please refer to our
Disclaimer in 1.9.


1.6 COUNTRY CODES

The ISO 3166-1 English short country names and codes are used in the IWS website.
As of 23 July 2003 the ISO 3166-1 country code elements for Serbia and Montenegro are:

CS (Alpha-2 code)
SCG (Alpha-3 code)
891 (Numeric-3 code)

The code elements YU and YUG representing Yugoslavia are obsolete now, and their use in applications of ISO 3166-1 should be phased out. The deletion of Yugoslavia from ISO 3166-1 also leads to the exclusion of the name in ISO 3166-3. Read about the official ISO country list
here.

1.7 GROSS NATIONAL INCOME (GNI) World Bank Atlas Method

In calculating Gross National Income (GNI—formerly referred to as GNP) and GNI per capita in U.S. dollars for certain operational purposes, the World Bank uses the Atlas conversion factor. The purpose of the Atlas conversion factor is to reduce the impact of exchange rate fluctuations in the cross-country comparison of national incomes.

Following current statistical practice, the World Bank has recently adopted the new terminology in line with the 1993 System of National Accounts (SNA). The changes in terms are listed below.

Previous terminology

New terminology

Gross national product, GNP

Gross national income, GNI

GNP per capita

GNI per capita

Private consumption

Household final consumption expenditure

General government consumption

General government final consumption expenditure

Gross domestic investment

Gross capital formation

Many countries continue to compile their national accounts according to the 1968 SNA, but more and more are adopting the 1993 SNA. A few low-income countries still use concepts from older SNA guidelines, including valuations such as factor cost, in describing major economic aggregates. In general, the definitions under the 1993 SNA guidelines for these indicators remain as before, and only the terminology has changed. Exceptions are: GNI in constant prices, which differs from GNP in that it also includes terms of trade adjustment; and gross capital formation which now includes a third category of capital formation: net acquisition of valuables. Included in gross capital formation under the 1993 SNA are capital outlays on defense establishments that may be used by the general public, such as schools, airfields, and hospitals. These expenses were treated as consumption in the earlier version of the SNA.

2. REGIONAL AND INDIVIDUAL COUNTRY DIRECTORY
The second statistical section is the world regional country pages, an international directory featuring over 245 countries and regions of the world, organized into several hundreds of web pages. Individual country and regional pages feature maps, profiles, area information, and links to local search directories for the corresponding countries and regions.

Starting in 2010, the Individual country pages were expanded in order to include, in addition to the Internet Indicators, telecommunication industry news summaries, and Facebook country data and news. These changes will take time and work to complete, because this additional information at Internet World Stats dot com involves updating and creating nearly one thousand pages of new content, and uploading it to the IWS website.

TIP: the best way to find a specific country is to go directly to the
alphabetical country list and from there to click on the specific country name. This alphabetical country list has been enhanced with the symbol for each country or region, the current number of Internet users and penetration rate, the population and the land size.

2.1 COUNTRY DATA AND SOCIAL WEB

Each country (or region) entry has a header or data box with the following specific information:
Country flag.
Country name.
ISO 3166 short code.
Current estimated population for corresponding mid-year.
Area in square kilometers (sq km) of the country or territory.
Country or territory capital city.
Capital city population.
Internet users of the country or region.
Date and source of the information.
Internet penetration for the country. This line will
be in bold for countries or regions where the penetration rate is over 50%.

Facebook subscribers (or users) are shown in green, when available.

In the extent that Facebook (Social Web) usage data becomes available, this
information will be included in each country data box. Number of Internet
users comes from various sources: ITU, each country's official telecommunications regulating agencies, local market research companies and from other trustworthy independent survey sources.

See two country "data box" examples below:

2.4 ECONOMIC DATA
The main source for economic data and statistics is the
World Bank.
Gross National Income per capita (GNI p.c.) is shown for most countries, if available. Details
here.

2.5 BROADBAND DATA
Broadband or high speed Internet is generally defined as a transmission capacity that is faster than primary rate ISDN, at 1.5 or 2.0 Mbit/s. 256 kbit/s is generally taken as the minimum speed, according to Recommendation I.113 of the ITU Standardization Sector. In some countries 128 kbit/s is taken as the minimum speed and in some statistics ISDN usage is included in the broadband figures.

Broadband Internet access worldwide is mainly by means of Cable or DSL lines. This type of access is gaining more subscribers each day. IWS is now publishing broadband download speed data for each country or region of the world, as such figures become available from Ookla.
See current broadband data
here.

2.6 LANGUAGE DATA
The Internet is a
Global Village with no physical frontiers, however it is divided by the different languages spoken in each country or region. We have researched the top ten languages spoken by the Internet Users and published this information. People speaking the same language show an inclination to form their own online community no matter what country they happen to live in. The latest estimated number of people online in each major language group may be seen here.

2.7 SOCIAL WEB DATA
The most successful social web in Internet, having reached more than 2,150 million subscribers, is undoubttedly Facebook. We have researched the Facebook users worldwide and published this information in the regional pages. The number of Facebook subscribers for each country has been updated in December 31, 2017. The source for much of the data has been the excellent data curated by We Are Social updated in 2018. You can see the information in the following report
We Are Social , the latest available.

United Nations Statistical Division
We believe that high quality international statistics, accessible for all, are a fundamental element of global information systems, and that to maintain the trust in international statistics, their production is to be impartial and strictly based on the highest professional standards. In this order of ideas we try to apply good practices and standards as recommended by the UN Statistical Division.

Other useful website sections to visit are:
The Webmaster Tools and eMarketing Tips

The Software Gallery
This section features several recommended software programs.
You are invited to visit the page and make use of the free trials.
Again, your support o, we try to apply the good practices as contains links to statisticsf the sponsors helps keep this website free.

Pop-Unders Gone
All pop-unders on this site have been removed. Visitors will
now experience a more enjoyable navigation during their visit.
No more pop-unders will show up in the future. Sometimes the
cache your PC keeps in old versions of the pages you visited,
so be sure to refresh any old IWS pages to be pop-under free

IWS believes that you should never be tricked into installing
software on your computer. We also believe that external
pop-ups, pop-unders, and exit-pops are all intrusive and
annoying to the Internet user.

Browser Tips:
If you want a good and useful web browser, get
Chrome,
Google's free and fast browser.

Another good alternative we recommend to block pop-ups
and pop-unders, and decrease the spyware and virus you
pick up while surfing the web, is to use a browser that
stops the pops and is safe and secure like the new
Mozilla Foundation Firefox . Already over 500 million
free copies of Firefox have been downloaded. We also
suggest using
Opera, another fast browser that blocks
all the pop-ups and pop-unders and is free to download.

Other Internet Explorer compatible browsers are:
Bing, and Maxthon , both are freeware and make
use of the basic Microsoft Internet Explorer engine.
