2018 rankings

Newzoo's 2018 Global Mobile Market Report shows countries/markets sorted by smartphone penetration (percentage of population). These numbers come from Newzoo's Global Mobile Market Report 2018.[5] By total number of smartphone users, "China by far has the most, boasting 783 million users. India took the #2 spot with 375 million users (less than half of China’s number). However, that gap will decrease by 2021, when we expect India to have 601 million smartphone users. The U.S. came in at #3, accounting for 252 million of the world’s smartphones."
