More Top CSS frameworks 2026–2040

UPD: Initially percentages were calculated against developers who actively use CSS frameworks (the ~4,890 respondents who answered the frameworks section in the State of CSS).

Now percentages calculated against all total survey participants (~9,000–10,000 developers across the entire State of CSS, many of whom write vanilla CSS, CSS-in-JS, or no frameworks at all).

Percentages represent self-reported active developer usage rates calculated against all total survey participants based on annual developer surveys. Historical data from 2019–2025 is drawn from the State of CSS Survey, supplemented by historical community surveys (e.g., CSS-Tricks, SitePoint) for earlier years (2011–2017); future projections (2026–2040) are estimates based on current trajectories. Percentages do not sum to 100% because developers frequently use multiple solutions simultaneously, while many developers rely purely on native CSS or CSS-in-JS. Survey data reflects active developer adoption and differs from web-wide deployment statistics (e.g., W3Techs), where legacy systems still maintain a massive footprint.
