LinkedIn Users Distribution Across Countries

by Anand on October 15th, 2009 Share on    

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%

About profiles per capita I have the following calculation:

Denmark has 435,628 profiles, population 5,519,441 giving a ratio of 7.89 %.

Netherlands has 1,278,927 profiles, population 16,500,156 giving a ratio of 7.75 %

USA has 23,089,079 profiles, population 307,698,000 giving a ratio of 7.50 %.

Profiles are from LinkedIn people search 2009-10-14 20:50 UTC.

Population from wikipedia 2009 estimate.

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.

That’s interesting. I shall try to confirm that.
Thanks again.
