[OC] Estimated people not using the internet in the 10 most populous countries, 2024
Important limitation: these bars apply the published internet-use percentages to total populations, including children. The underlying surveys do not all cover the same ages, and I haven’t verified all-age adjustment for every country. Treat the counts as arithmetic estimates, not directly comparable counts of people of all ages.
India's estimated nonuser count was 508.6 million (35.1% of its population); Ethiopia's was 103.1 million (78.1%). This chart compares the ten most populous countries in 2024.

These are population × non-use-share estimates. Internet use means activity in the previous three months; non-use does not establish lack of internet access. Sources, tools and method are in my first comment.
