According to ICANN’s Application Statistics, as of 31 January 2022, 1930 applications have been submitted. All the New gTLDs can be viewed on ICANN’s Delegated Strings page. Here are a few numbers for you:


l 1240 gTLDs were delegated.

l 646 applications were withdrawn, and 39 applications were not approved, which means the TLDs will not be available to register.

 

You may also notice that there are Brand TLDs — in other words, TLDs that a specific brand owns, for example, .netflix and .walmart. Interestingly, 664 brand applications were submitted to ICANN, 34% of total applications. Some of the benefits of acquiring a Brand TLD are that brand awareness will be easier, marketing opportunities, and the flexibility in creating second-level domains for various products and services.
