Year-on-year growth in GitHub accounts

+37%

Q1 2025 → Q1 2026GitHub Innovation Graph

There is no official census of developers. The best public proxy is the GitHub Innovation Graph, which counts 195,658 active developer accounts in Guatemala in Q1 2026, against 142,624 in Q1 2025 (+37% year on year) and 132,681 in Q4 2024; the intervening quarterly series runs 149,980 (Q2 2025), 164,505 (Q3 2025) and 178,072 (Q4 2025). The count excludes bots and spam but includes students and hobbyists, so it is not equivalent to professional developers. As a secondary demand signal, Terminal.io states that software developer vacancies in Guatemala grew 41% between Q4 2021 and Q4 2023 (a commercial source).
