This is from adherents.com:

The worlds' fourth largest organized religion, Buddhism, is the religion of the majority of the population in 10 countries:
Thailand
Cambodia
Myanmar
Tibet
Bhutan
Mongolia
Sri Lanka
Laos
Vietnam
Japan

Buddhism is also very important historically and culturally in other several other Asian countries, but is no longer cited as the preferred religion by at least 50% of the population. In China and North Korea, Buddhism was forcibly suppressed by Communist regimes. Buddhism remains important in these countries, but is no longer claimed as the religious preference by the majority of the population. Taiwan is heavily Buddhist, but the religion is mixed with Taoism and Confucianism, and exists side by side with other religions to such a degree that Buddhism is probably not a majority religion, strictly speaking. In South Korea Christianity has recently made enough gains that Buddhism is no longer the religion of the majority of the population.

Currently, many people in traditionally Buddhist countries such as Korea and China are embracing Christianity in greater numbers, while Buddhism is in turn gaining increasing numbers of converts among Westerners in places such as Europe, Australia, and the United States. There are even organizations and books for "JuBus" (Jews who practice Buddhism).

You have to take it with a grain of salt, however, because of the non-exclusive nature of Buddhism.
