Number of Internet Users
The Number of Internet Users refers to the active population using the internet in any given year. As of spring 2021, there were 4.57 billion people using the internet.[1]
India in particular is rapidly rising to internet prominence: "Internet penetration in India reached 50% at the start of 2020. Meaning, already half of the population in India uses the internet. This is a rather fast jump, looking at the fact that in 2015, only 19% of Indian population was actively using the internet at 243 million users."
"It is unrealistic to expect that internet adoption will nearly triple in the next five years like it did in the last five. Nevertheless, even with a slower growth rate, Atlas VPN projections reveal that by 2025, India will reach 1 billion active web surfers." [2]
