Is there anyone at PMI that can provide exact current 2026 certification statistics like the format below from September 2017 PMI Today magazine? I have been a member and certified since 1998. These number used to be published every month in the paper copy of PMI Network and Today magazine. Why is PMI not publishing these number any more on a regular basis? I wonder if the growth numbers haven't increased in recent years and PMI does not want to publish that fact?

"Members of PMI® : 486,672

Credentials/Certifications

PMP® – 791,448 (Project Management Professional Certification)

CAPM® – 33,993 (Certified Associate in Project Management)

PMI-ACP® – 16,929 (PMI® Agile Certified Practitioner)

PMI-RMP® – 4,197 (PMI® Risk Management Professional)

PMI-SP® – 1,718 (PMI® Scheduling Professional)

PgMP® –2,009 (Program Management Professional)

PMI-PBA® – 1,618 (PMI® Professional in Business Analysis)

PfMP® – 454 (Portfolio Management Professional)"

Hello - here is the link to the 2025 stats:https://www.projectmanagement.com/articles/1064504/pmi-community-numbers-q4-2025PMI shifted to quarterly now, so the Q1 numbers haven't been published. The Q1 2026 numbers should be ready in a few weeks or so. Thanks for your patience!

Also, I suggest bookmarking this link to reference future stat publications.
