How Many People Have A Facebook
This year, 169.5 million individuals in the US-- or majority of the populace-- will certainly make use of Facebook, a 0.9% rise from 2017, according to our estimates.
By the end of the projecting duration (2022 ), we anticipate Facebook's individual base to grow to 176.3 million. That's thanks, in large part, to older demographics.
How Old Are Facebook Users?
While more youthful users are leaving Facebook at an also quicker rate than we previously expected, older age groups are accessing the social platform extra-- specifically the 55-to-64 and 65-plus age.
" Each of those age groups will certainly add roughly 1 million new users in 2018, which is meaningful considering Facebook's user base all at once will boost by only 1.6 million," claimed eMarketer elderly projecting analyst Chris Bendtsen. "What this implies is that Facebook is including more brand-new older users than it's shedding more youthful ones."
In general, Facebook's use amongst 55- to 64-year-olds will certainly raise by 4.9% in 2018. And also usage among those 65 and also older is expected to increase by 6.0%.
At the same time, Facebook's usage amongst those 11 and more youthful will certainly decrease 9.3%, while those in the 12-to-17 age group and those in the 18-to-24 age will decrease by 5.6% and also 4.5%, specifically.
Teens might be changing from Facebook, but it's still the No. 1 social media among millennials, Gen Xers as well as boomers.
As a matter of fact, child boomers prefer Facebook over various other social applications, like Pinterest, Instagram as well as particularly Snapchat. This year, we expect 31.9 million individuals in that cohort to use Facebook.
" Facebook is still performing well in these older age groups," said eMarketer major expert Debra Aho Williamson. "It's true that Instagram is gaining strength amongst those 35 and also older, however Facebook stays their system of option."
" It's where their family and friends are, and its attributes know as well as safe," she added. "Despite Facebook's widely publicized issues with data personal privacy, hacking as well as phony information, most individuals in these age are still using it."
