Users On Facebook
This year, 169.5 million individuals in the United States-- or over half of the population-- will certainly make use of Facebook, a 0.9% boost from 2017, according to our estimates.
By the end of the projecting duration (2022 ), we anticipate Facebook's individual base to expand to 176.3 million. That's many thanks, in huge part, to older demographics.
How Old Are Facebook Users?
While more youthful users are leaving Facebook at an even quicker speed than we previously expected, older age are accessing the social platform extra-- particularly the 55-to-64 as well as 65-plus age groups.
" Each of those age groups will add approximately 1 million new individuals in 2018, which is purposeful taking into consideration Facebook's customer base in its entirety will enhance by only 1.6 million," said eMarketer senior forecasting analyst Chris Bendtsen. "What this indicates is that Facebook is adding a lot more brand-new older customers than it's losing younger ones."
Generally, Facebook's use amongst 55- to 64-year-olds will increase by 4.9% in 2018. And use among those 65 as well as older is expected to boost by 6.0%.
At the same time, Facebook's use amongst those 11 and younger will certainly decline 9.3%, while those in the 12-to-17 age group and also those in the 18-to-24 age will certainly decrease by 5.6% and also 4.5%, specifically.
Teens might be moving from Facebook, but it's still the No. 1 social media amongst millennials, Gen Xers and boomers.
Actually, child boomers prefer Facebook over other social apps, like Pinterest, Instagram and particularly Snapchat. This year, we anticipate 31.9 million individuals in that cohort to use Facebook.
" Facebook is still performing well in these older age," stated eMarketer major analyst Debra Aho Williamson. "It's true that Instagram is gaining strength among those 35 and also older, however Facebook stays their system of option."
" It's where their friends and family are, and its functions know as well as risk-free," she added. "In spite of Facebook's widely publicized problems with data personal privacy, hacking and also fake information, the majority of individuals in these age groups are still utilizing it."
