Try asking the IUCr for information on crystallographers.

Hi all, I was recently asked how many biological crystallographers plus cryo-EM

provide. Any thoughts about how to estimate a number?

Thanks,

Dear Scott,

For the grant application, better question might be how many structural
biologists are out there, because "a crystallographer" may be interpreted
differently depending who is reading the grant application: are these the
people who know crystallography, or people who solve structures using
crystallography? The former category doesn't necessarily fall under the
target audience for your grant application, but the latter does.
Furthermore, with "structural biologists" you can claim a larger impact
factor, IMO.
Best wishes,
Nukri

You might want to quote how many researchers use the PDB instead.  Maybe an
inquiry to the PDB could give you that statistic.
That would give you a big number

From https://academic.oup.com/nar/article/47/D1/D520/5144142 in 2017 450 
million structure data files were downloaded from the PDB FTP archive and 
unique PDB users (based on IP addresses) is estimated at >1 million. RCSB 
publications here https://www.rcsb.org/pages/publications where more details 
may be derived.
