1. The current internet population is 5.16 billion people.
The global population of internet users is growing by the minute. It boasts a 3.7% increase in the last 12 months—meaning another 178 users have been added in 2022 to the overall number.
However, there’s a stark imbalance in its regional distribution. Most internet users come from Eastern Asia—a whopping 1.16 billion—the least from Africa and the Middle East. Astoundingly, 1.02 billion Asian users are Chinese, meaning that most of its 1.4 billion population is online.
The US ranks third, after India (658 million), with slightly over 300 million users.
