LinkedIn Users Distribution Across Countries
Posted: October 15th, 2009.
I do not have a comprehensive distribution chart for the users of popular business networking website LinkedIn. However, according to a recent blog post by the LinkedIn CEO, here is what we know
Total number of users : 50 million
First million users acquired in 477 days
The last million users acquired in 12 days!
Major user locations
USA : 25 million
Europe : 11 million
India : 3 million
India is the country with the fastest overall growth while Netherlands is the country with fastest growth per capita outside US at 30%

Thanks for these useful stats Henrik. Does this also mean Denmark is the highest in terms of number of LinkedIn users per capita?

Hi Anand, I haven’t checked all countries but many, so I think Denmark is still in front – but the gap is shrinking.
