This year, 169.5 million people in the US-- or majority of the populace-- will certainly use Facebook, a 0.9% boost from 2017, according to our price quotes.
By the end of the forecasting period (2022 ), we anticipate Facebook's individual base to expand to 176.3 million. That's many thanks, in large component, to older demographics.
How Old Are Facebook Users?
While more youthful customers are leaving Facebook at an even faster speed than we formerly expected, older age are accessing the social system extra-- specifically the 55-to-64 and 65-plus age.
" Each of those age will certainly include roughly 1 million brand-new customers in 2018, which is meaningful taking into consideration Facebook's customer base in its entirety will raise by just 1.6 million," stated eMarketer elderly projecting expert Chris Bendtsen. "What this implies is that Facebook is including extra new older users than it's losing younger ones."
On the whole, Facebook's usage among 55- to 64-year-olds will certainly increase by 4.9% in 2018. And also usage amongst those 65 as well as older is expected to increase by 6.0%.
On the other hand, Facebook's usage among those 11 and younger will certainly decrease 9.3%, while those in the 12-to-17 age group and those in the 18-to-24 age will certainly decrease by 5.6% as well as 4.5%, respectively.
Teenagers might be shifting from Facebook, however it's still the No. 1 social media network amongst millennials, Gen Xers and boomers.
As a matter of fact, child boomers favor Facebook over other social apps, like Pinterest, Instagram and also particularly Snapchat. This year, we anticipate 31.9 million people in that mate to make use of Facebook.
" Facebook is still doing well in these older age groups," stated eMarketer major analyst Debra Aho Williamson. "It holds true that Instagram is gaining strength among those 35 and also older, yet Facebook remains their system of choice."
" It's where their family and friends are, and its attributes recognize and safe," she added. "Regardless of Facebook's extensively promoted problems with information personal privacy, hacking and also phony news, most customers in these age are still using it."
