How many commercial web sites are made a year in the United States, in the United Kingdom, in Europe and in Asia?
Hello! Thanks for your question about how many commercial websites are created around the World each year. The most useful source I found to answer your question is Internet World Statistics. The short version is that 4 millions commercial websites were launched in North America, 8 million in Europe, and 23 million in Asia. Below you will find a deep dive of my findings.
FINDINGS
Every year, the number of websites created changes drastically.
-----------------------
....................................
2010 -13%
2011 67%
2012 101%
2013 -3%
2014 44%
2015 -11%
-----------------------
There are currently, 1,183,672,000+ websites in the World.
In 2015, 863,105,652 new websites were created. This was a decrease from 968,882,453 in 2014.
1,183,672,000 - 968,882,453 = 214,789,547
Therefore, 214,789,547 new websites were created between January 1, 2016 and April 26, 2017.
214,789,547 * .25 = 53,697,386 of websites created between 2016, and 2017 are active.
No data was available on the division of commerce versus non-commerce websites. I will assume that 85% of new, active websites are intended for commercial use.
53,697,386 * .85 = 45,642,778
Therefore, an estimated 45.6 million new, active websites are created every year for commercial use worldwide.
Each World region has a varying percentage of internet users.
North America 8.6%
Europe* 17.1%
Asia 50.2%
(*Note: UK data was not available)
# OF NEW ACTIVE COMMERCE WEBSITES PER REGION
NA: 45,642,778 * .086 = 3925278 = 4 million
EU: 45,642,778 * .171 = 7804915 = 8 million
ASIA: 45,642,778 * .502 = 22912674 = 23 million
North America 4 million
Europe 8 million
Asia 23 million
CONCLUSION
The number of commercial websites created every year varies from year to year and can range from -13% to 101%. Over the last 14 months, an estimated 45.6 million new, active commercial websites were launched. 4 million commercial websites were launched in North America, 8 million in Europe, and 23 million in Asia.
