There are too many schools, and organizations worldwide that do not share information as to membership and participation in Taekwondo, therefore it would be impossible to accurately determine what percentage of people study the art.
There is really no way to measure this; all schools are different, and each one would have to keep records of all students who reached the black belt level, and forward that information to a central source.
My own experience is that the percentage of students who start and eventually become black belts is not a high percentage; to do this art correctly you have to devote time and energy to the discipline; you really have to want to do it. Since it can take 3 to 4 years to reach that level a lot of students drop out during the way.
Black Belt
Bodan is a rank of skill and experience just before black belt. The bodan belt is half red and half black. It sometimes called a temporary black belt.
red belt means 'Danger, cautioning the student to excersise control and the opponent to stay away'. Btw, this is correct because i am a black tag in tae kwon do.

Im a black belt and the gift you will receive when you complete it is something you can't put in words. 12 years of Taekwondo means about 2 years for you to become a black belt or less time depending on your skills and inner heart.
