Twitter/X Users by Country 2025

Top 10 Countries with the Most Twitter/X Users 2024

Highlighted Countries

United States

It comes as no surprise that the United States has the highest number of Twitter (now known as X) users by country. There are over 111 million Twitter/X users in the United States. As Twitter/X is an American company and was initially launched in the country, this should come as little surprise. The United States has always had the highest number of Twitter/X users, and this doesn’t seem like it will change any time soon. The country has far more Twitter/X users than second-place Japan.

Japan

Japan has the second-highest number of Twitter/X users. Over 75 million Japanese people are registered on the site. As the population of Japan is estimated at around 124 million, this means that about 60% of Japanese people have a Twitter/X account. While Japan is only second in total Twitter/X users, it does have the highest percentage of citizens who use the site.

India

It should come as no surprise that India ranks near the top of this list, as it is one of the most populous countries in the world. It has a total of about 1.4 billion residents, which makes it the most populous nation that allows Twitter/X. However, only 27.3 million Indians actually have a Twitter/X account. As more Indians gain access to the internet, this number is sure to increase rapidly.

Indonesia

Indonesia comes in at number four with 27.1 million users as of 2024 – up from 24 million the previous year. As of 2024, Twitter/X is a very popular social media platform in Indonesia. With about 281 million residents, almost 10% are users of the platform.

United Kingdom

The United Kingdom is number five with 25.9 million TwitterX users engaging daily on the platform for news, entertainment, and social interactions. This is an increase of 2.8 million users since 2022.

Brazil

Brazil comes in at number six in terms of Twitter/X users. It is a large country with high internet accessibility, which enables a high number of Twitter/X users, currently estimated at roughly 22.9 million. Unfortunately, many low-income people in the country still do not have an internet connection. This means that the number of Twitter/X users in the country could still increase dramatically.

China

Officially, China has no Twitter/X users. This is because Twitter/X is banned in China, as are many social media sites. However, many Chinese people use VPNs to get around the ban and register a Twitter/X account. Even some state-run organizations, such as Chinese Central TV, have a Twitter/X account. The official ban on Twitter/X means that it is nearly impossible to come up with an accurate estimate of the number of Chinese Twitter/X users. But the best unofficial estimate is around 8.6 million users.

Due to the government ban and the popularity of a similar unbanned site (Weibo) it seems unlikely that Twitter/X will ever be extremely popular in China. Even if the government removes the ban, many Chinese people will simply continue using Weibo. Weibo offers almost exactly the same service.
