China’s rapid growth in advanced technology and the increasing number of Chinese-speaking developers could potentially change the status quo. Recent foreign investments in technology by US companies are also spreading beyond Silicon Valley to the fastest growing tech hubs in Europe like Berlin, Dublin and Paris. The top nation for growth is in China, where it is projected to grow between 6-8% leading up to 2023. While the US currently has the largest population of software developers, India’s developer population will overtake the US by 2023. Around 70% of these developers were born outside of the US. By 2023, they are projected to be 28 million.Ībout 4.5 million of them are based in the U.S., with the largest number working in Silicon Valley.

About 1.5 billion people speak English worldwide, with approximately 360 million native speakers.
As of August 2018, the total world population is 7.63 billion people and it continues to grow by the minute.
