OIAA Statistics – 2024-2025 Comparison

Membership & Structural Growth

A. OIAA Member Groups

Year	Start of Year	End of Year	Net Growth
2024	657	768	+111
2025	768	857	+89

Key comparison insight

• 2024 was a breakout growth year for member groups (~17% growth).
• 2025 continued growth, but at a more moderate, steadier pace.
• This pattern is typical of an organization moving from expansion phase → consolidation & sustainability phase.

B. Groups with Meetings Listed on OIAA

Year	Start of Year	End of Year	Net Growth
2024	2,608	2,969	+361
2025	3,020	3,277	+257

Key comparison insight

• 2025 maintained that reach.
• 2024 expanded directory reach aggressively.

C. Meetings Listed

Year	Start of Year	End of Year	Net Growth
2024	7,860	9,361	+1,501
2025	9,561	10,626	+1,065

Key comparison insight

• Meeting growth remained strong in both years.
• 2024 shows faster expansion, while 2025 shows continued but slightly slower growth.
• Importantly, meetings kept growing even when reporting paused in 2025.

Website Analytics

Important Note:

Midyear in 2025 our analytics stopped reporting.  During this time the technology committee stopped using a specific analytics service and chose to report directly from Google Analytics.  All statistics beginning in September established a new baseline for reporting numbers.  September onward was treated as a new baseline. Assumptions were made to show continuity in reporting.

User Engagement Patterns

Global Reach: Languages & Regions

Languages

• Both years: English dominant; Spanish, Portuguese, French, German consistently present.
• 2024: Global reach broadens steadily.
• 2025: Growth becomes more concentrated in Americas languages (English, Spanish, Portuguese).

Key comparison insight

2024 expanded global reach broadly.
2025 deepened reach where growth momentum was strongest.

---

The following comparison charts show the growth trends in 2024 vs. 2025 for top languages, country and region.

Strongest accelerators in 2025

• United States
  • Largest absolute growth in both years
  • Clear acceleration in 2025 → confirms continued scale and reliance
• Brazil & Mexico
  • Among the biggest year-over-year jumps
  • Reinforces Spanish and Portuguese language growth
• India
  • One of the largest percentage increases
  • Strongest growth outside the Americas & Europe

Countries that remained steady

• Germany
• France
• Australia

These show:

• modest or flat growth year over year
• mature, stable user bases
• no decline — just consistency

The “Rest of World” category grows faster in 2025 than in 2024, even though Europe remains relatively flat.

That growth is driven primarily by:

• India
• Other mobile-first, English-accessible countries
• Expanded global awareness of OIAA resources

Big Picture Shift: 2024 vs 2025

2024: Broad, steady global participation

• Global countries appear consistently across monthly reports
• Usage grows gradually, month over month
• Growth is diffuse (many countries, modest increases)
• September 2024 shows the largest global peak, including non-Western countries

2025: Concentrated growth in specific global regions

• Fewer regions show strong acceleration
• Growth becomes more focused, not evenly distributed
• Certain countries emerge clearly as standouts

Key Distinction

2024 = global breadth
2025 = global depth in select regions

Strongest Growth Areas Outside Americas & Europe

South Asia (Especially India)

2024

• India appears consistently in country lists
• Growth is present but incremental
• Part of a broad “long tail” of global participation

2025

• India becomes one of the strongest non-Americas growth countries

• Appears prominently in post-reset analytics
• Aligns with:
  • English-language usage
  • Mobile-first access patterns
  • Large population base

Insight

India shifts from participating globally in 2024 to driving global growth in 2025.

Africa (Distributed, Not Centralized)

2024

• African countries appear intermittently
• Usage is modest but persistent
• Likely driven by:
  • English and French language access
  • Mobile usage

2025

• Still present, but not a high-growth concentration
• Growth appears steady rather than accelerating

Insight

Africa represents consistent access usage, not rapid expansion.

Southeast Asia (Emerging, Then Stabilizing)

2024

• Countries such as:
  • Philippines
  • Indonesia
  • Malaysia
    appear sporadically
• Growth is slow but visible

2025

• Growth does not accelerate sharply
• Presence remains stable
• Continues as part of the “Other Languages / Other Countries” category

Insight

Southeast Asia remains an emerging access region, but not yet growing.

Middle East

2024

• Very light but recurring presence
• No sharp spikes

2025

• Still present, still small
• No clear acceleration signal

Insight

Usage likely constrained by language availability— growth remains cautious and gradual.

Oceania (Outside Australia/NZ)

2024

• Minimal but consistent presence
• Often grouped into “Other”

2025

• No meaningful change
• Stable, low-volume access

Insight

This region is stable but saturated relative to population size.
