Number of Twitter Users by Country
Listed among global consumers’ favorite social media platforms, Twitter (now known as X) is undoubtedly one channel businesses should be marketing on. The latest Twitter statistics also show that there are over 350 million monthly active users, making the micro-blogging site a great platform for brands to increase their reach.
But how much effort you should dedicate to Twitter will depend on your target market and, more importantly, consumers’ Twitter usage by country.

Third on the list ranking the number of Twitter users by country is India, where there are 30.3 million Twitter users. Despite being third on the list, the number of Twitter users in India is relatively low, considering its population of 1.4 billion. The data on Twitter usage by country shows that Twitter’s reach in India is pretty insignificant. Its potential advertising reach is just 1% of the total population. In comparison, Twitter’s reach in the US is 19.1%—around one out of every five people. In Japan, it’s a whopping 42%—nearly half of the population.
This is followed by Indonesia, with 27.1 million, and the United Kingdom rounds out the top five, with 24.3 million Twitter users.
Here are countries with the sixth- to 10th-largest number of Twitter users:
- Brazil: 24.2 million

- Mexico: 19.6 million
- Saudi Arabia: 17.9 million
- Thailand: 16.2 million
