I asked google, and a lot can be found in emerging markets, where the ratio is about 50% of dual-sim devices, like this:

And there is a world map of dual-sim usage here:
https://qz.com/334930/one-quarter-of...al-sim-phones/ and there https://opensignal.com/reports/2015/...ices-dual-sim/
with the following conclusion:
The numbers skew heavily to poor countries: Just 2% of Americans and 4% of Britons use these phones, but two-thirds of Nigerians and Bangladeshis have more than one SIM in their devices. Globally, a quarter of Android devices in use are dual-SIM.
