According to this document https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/089033449000600240 in 1985 (which I believe was the first exam) 259 folks took the exam and 94.6% passed which by my calculation means there were 245 IBCLCs after the 1985 exam. There is no breakout by country.

The 2000 document https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/089033440101700213 does not tell the total number of IBCLCs. It does state that 1862 folks took the exam, 919 from the United States. Overall 1635 passed.          

As a database developer I’ve always been disappointed by the lack of historical data at IBLCE.
