Article Last Updated: by Filed Under: All Stats and Fun Facts, Email Service Statistics

Here is our latest installment of our “By the Numbers” digital statistic post series. Today, we look at some incredible Gmail statistics and facts to get a better picture of how amazingly large a product Google’s email service has become.

15 years ago, Gmail burst onto the scene and quickly became a formidable challenger to the AOLs, Yahoos and Hotmails of the time. Since then, Google’s signature email product has surpassed those competitors and then some, becoming the standard-bearer for ad-supported, consumer email services.  Gmail has literally become the default personal email service for most of the global internet community. As you can see from the Gmail stats below, Gmail’s market penetration is monstrous.
