Social networking has gained immense popularity all over the world in recent years, especially since the introduction of Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB)’s website. The website boasts more than 1.3 billion active users, with more than 829 million visiting the social network on a daily basis. Considering the significance of these numbers and the huge leap forward they represent in terms of global connectivity, some might wonder who makes up the list of the top 10 countries with the most Facebook users.
With almost 25 million users, Germany comes in tenth place on our list. Due to the huge increase in the popularity of the social networking website, now one out of three individuals living in Germany have a Facebook account. France is one step above Germany in absolute numbers with 25.3 million users, and it seems Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) is even more popular here, as more than 37% of the population is registered.
With more than 30.2 million users and growing on a daily basis, the Philippines ranks eighth on our list of the top 10 countries with the most Facebook users.

Far ahead of the countries mentioned before and coming in fifth place is Mexico, with 42.5 million users.
