LinkedIn member growth to 1B accounts.

Here’s a graph of the above table from 600M accounts to 1B accounts (January 2019 to January 2024).

(I write “accounts” rather than “members” because I still think there are a lot of fake and duplicate accounts on the platform, so these numbers don’t represent the number of real people on LinkedIn.)

Microsoft stopped sharing exact numbers once LinkedIn reached 1B accounts, but growth is generally at around 25M per quarter.

How many active users are on LinkedIn?

The absolute number of members on LinkedIn doesn’t matter as much as the number of active members.

LinkedIn don’t publish details of active members across the whole platform but they do have to publish details about the activity of LinkedIn members in the European Union.

Using that information and doing some extrapolation means that we can make a decent approximation of the real number of active users.

I’ve put together the numbers in the table below via the Digital Services Act Transparency Report for August 2025 and the numbers reported via LinkedIn’s Pressroom.

Country	Monthly active	Total users	Proportion active
Belgium	1.9M	5.0M	38%
Czechia	0.8M	2.0M	40%
Denmark	1.5M	3.0M	50%
Finland	0.8M	2.0M	40%
France	12.2M	34M	36%
Ireland	1.1M	3.0M	37%
Italy	6.4M	23M	28%
Netherlands	5.3M	12M	44%
Poland	2.5M	7.0M	36%
Portugal	1.6M	5.0M	32%
Romania	1.0M	4.0M	25%
Spain	5.9M	22M	27%
Sweden	2.2M	5.0M	44%
Summary	43.2M	127M	34%

The above table shows the number of monthly active users in various EU countries during the period January 2025 and June 2025, along with the total number of users in those countries based on what the Pressroom reported in the middle of 2025. (I’m not reporting on all EU countries here, because only some of their total user figures are shown on the Pressroom map.)

Dividing the number of active users by the total number of users gives us the proportion of active users as a percentage per country.

The final line of the table summarises that there were 43.2M total active users out of the 127M total users, meaning an overall activity rate of 34%.

But what does active really mean? It’s hard to know. In the Transparency Report, LinkedIn uses the phrases “monthly average logged-in users” and “Monthly Active Recipients of the Service” without going into detail about what activity really means.

“Activity” might be as basic as saying that someone has logged in and spent a few seconds browsing the site, in which case it’s not much of a measure of anything important.

Why these numbers matter.

LinkedIn is still a great place to reach your audience without having to pay for ads, but good levels of free organic reach have been decreasing since 2023.

To buffer yourself from the decline of organic reach, it’s a good idea to build your audience now.
