Here are the LinkedIn member stats I’ve been tracking since 2019 combined with older data found through Twitter and other websites.

Some extra detail about the announcements (such as growth and revenue) are accessible via the links on the numbers in the table.

Updated stats are announced with each Microsoft quarterly earnings call. The next update should be on 26 October 2022.

Here’s a graph of the above data from 600M members upwards (January 2019 to now).

I’ll keep this page up to date but you can always see the current official figures via the LinkedIn Pressroom.

Top 5 countries on LinkedIn by accounts.

On 26 July 2022, the top 5 countries of LinkedIn members (not active users) were:

🇺🇸 191M+ in USA
🇮🇳 88M+ in India
🇨🇳 57M+ in China*
🇧🇷 58M+ in Brazil
🇬🇧 33M+ in the UK

*LinkedIn has been replaced in China by InCareer – but LinkedIn are still treating these people as members.

Why these numbers matter.

LinkedIn is still a great place to reach your audience without having to pay for ads.

But that free organic reach is unlikely to last forever.

To buffer yourself from the potential future issues with organic reach for your content, it’s a good idea to build your audience now.

Since the start of 2017, I’ve been doing this by getting involved in as many public and private conversations on LinkedIn as I can. This is what helps people remember and care about me and my work.

The best thing to do to defeat the algorithms is to get people to care about you. When they do, it doesn’t matter what the algorithms do – you’ll always be someone people seek and find.
