About This Dataset
Internet Users by Country, January 2025
China has 1,110 million estimated internet users in this eight-country comparison, followed by India with 806 million. Indonesia has 212 million. The figures describe January 2025 in DataReportal's Digital 2025 country reports, rather than an end-of-year forecast or a live count.
Every value uses millions of people: China's published 1.11 billion is converted to 1,110 million. The other estimates retain the precision of their country reports. Each row links to the report supporting that country's figure.
User counts and internet penetration answer different questions. Counts describe the number of people online; penetration describes the percentage of a population online. Mobile subscriptions and social-media accounts are separate measures and may include multiple connections or identities per person.
These eight countries form a selected comparison, not a complete world ranking. Estimates reflect the information available when the reports were produced; rounding, collection delays and subsequent revisions limit exact comparisons. Use the chart's table to compare counts and the country reports to examine adoption rates.

Analysis
The eight displayed estimates sum to 2,982 million users. China and India together contribute 1,916 million, or 64.3% of that selected total; this is not their share of all world internet users. China exceeds India by 304 million. Indonesia's 212 million is 7.1% of the selected total, between the United States at 322 million and Brazil at 183 million. Japan and Nigeria are only 2 million apart at the reports' displayed precision.
