Q: How many countries use Peppol?

121 countries have at least one Peppol participant identifier in our index. 29 of them are large enough, or served by enough operators, to carry a measured country page; together they hold 10,545,525 of the 10,554,634 identifiers we index.

Q: Which countries have a Peppol e-invoicing mandate?

3 of the markets listed here have a national e-invoicing mandate we track in detail: France, Belgium, Germany. A mandate does not always require the Peppol network — some obligations merely permit it — so each mandate page states which of the two applies.

Q: Does a big Peppol country mean every company there is reachable?

No. An indexed identifier means the organisation is published in the directory and resolvable through an SMP. Whether a specific company is reachable today is a lookup, not a statistic, and the directory search answers it per identifier.

Rank is over all 121 countries that have at least one indexed identifier, so a listed market can rank below one that has no page. "Providers" counts operators with participants we can attribute to that market, and the largest operator is the one holding the most of them.

Mandates

Which countries have a Peppol e-invoicing mandate?

3 of the markets listed above have a national e-invoicing obligation we track in detail: France, Belgium and Germany. A mandate is not the same as a Peppol mandate: some obligations require the network, others merely permit it, and the distinction decides whether a company needs an access point at all. Each case is set out on the mandate hub.

Method

How is Peppol adoption per country measured?

A participant identifier is attributed to a country by its issuing scheme — the ISO 6523 prefix that names the national register the number came from. Counts are identifiers, not organisations: a company holding both a VAT-based and a register-based identifier counts twice here and once in the organisation total on Peppol statistics.

National totals move for two different reasons — companies registering, and our own discovery passes resolving identifiers that already existed — so each country page draws its movement with the discovery steps marked out rather than folded into growth.
