What is the number of freemasons in all major countries?
Worldwide membership is estimated to be on the order of six million, as an article hosted on the Grand Lodge of India's website notes. Comprehensive figures for every major country are not compiled in a single centralized repository, as each sovereign Grand Lodge maintains its own records independently.
In the United States, the Masonic Service Association of North America records a total membership of 869,429 Freemasons across Grand Jurisdictions in its 2023 statistics. For India, the Grand Lodge of India reports having between 23,000 and 25,000 Freemasons. Outside its home territory, the United Grand Lodge of England reports having approximately 20,000 members belonging to its overseas lodges. Detailed figures for remaining nations are retained by their individual governing bodies rather than published as a unified global figure.
