From the article: When we published this initially, we found 16 markets in which Fitbit would no longer sell its products. Shortly thereafter, 9to5Google found a separate support page that mentioned the company moving out of even more, including Mexico and all Latin American countries. This means Fitbit has recently removed itself from 29 countries, which is more than half of its previous markets. As of now, Fitbit is only active in 23 countries:

The United States
Canada
Austria
Belgium
Denmark
Germany
Ireland
Spain
Finland
Greece
France
Italy
The Netherlands
Norway
Sweden
Switzerland
The United Kingdom
Australia
India
Japan
New Zealand
Singapore
Taiwan
