They are used in MOST countries of the World. It seems that only three countries don't use the metric system (SI) yet.

That being said, in the non-scientific communities, as well as in certain sciences, certain non-SI units are used - for example, Celsius or Centigrade for temperature (instead of Kelvin); time measured in minutes, hours, days and years (instead of seconds); or energy being measured in kWh (instead of Ws = Joule).
