Number Of Facebook Users By Country
Posted: January 14th, 2010.
Facebook now has over 350 million users. With such a huge crowd, where are the people coming from? Here are the top countries whose people have been fueling Facebook’s growth. Note that this list was picked from another list of the top ten countries by user growth numbers. So, there possibly could be other countries who are in the top ten but did not grow enough in volumes (though that sounds unlikely)
1. USA : 102.6 million
2. Turkey : 16.9 million
3. Indonesia : 15.3 million
4. Italy : 13.5 million
5. Philippines : 8.8 million
6. Spain : 7.8 million
7. Argentina : 7.5 million
8. Mexico : 6.6 million
9. India : 5.6 million
10. Malaysia : 4.2 million

Wow, Malaysia made it to the Top 10! It really shows how the penetration is like over in Asia. On a per capita basis, it’s really high, considering we have a population of 25 million.
Incidentally, where do the stats come from? Can I export them from Facebook directly?

I guess popularity of Orkut is waning in India with Facebook taking over. Nevertheless, Brazil has always been number 1 on Orkut..

That’s interesting, and I wonder what the internet penetration in Malaysia is..
The study was conducted by InsideFacebook.com. You can find the relevant link here: http://www.emarketer.com/Article.aspx?R=1007459

I’m surprised Australia is not on this list … a Facebook VP told me more than 6 million Australians are on Facebook.

it’s absolutely no surprise to me that Turkey is second on the list. Everyone has a facebook account here, you literally find your lost primary school friends. Plus Turkey is a growing economy and people have interest in new stuff but things get out of fashion quick as well, we’ll see.

PHILIPPINES ON THE TOP 5, It’s not suprising, Filipinos are one of the most powerful race on the internet community.
