How Many People In Facebook
This year, 169.5 million people in the US-- or over half of the populace-- will utilize Facebook, a 0.9% boost from 2017, according to our estimates.
By the end of the forecasting duration (2022 ), we expect Facebook's user base to expand to 176.3 million. That's many thanks, in big part, to older demographics.
How Old Are Facebook Users?
While more youthful users are leaving Facebook at an even quicker rate than we formerly expected, older age are accessing the social system more-- especially the 55-to-64 as well as 65-plus age.
" Each of those age groups will certainly include approximately 1 million new individuals in 2018, which is purposeful taking into consideration Facebook's user base overall will increase by only 1.6 million," claimed eMarketer senior projecting expert Chris Bendtsen. "What this suggests is that Facebook is including a lot more new older customers than it's losing younger ones."
In general, Facebook's usage among 55- to 64-year-olds will boost by 4.9% in 2018. And use among those 65 and older is anticipated to raise by 6.0%.

Teens might be moving from Facebook, yet it's still the No. 1 social media among millennials, Gen Xers and boomers.
In fact, infant boomers prefer Facebook over other social apps, like Pinterest, Instagram and also especially Snapchat. This year, we anticipate 31.9 million people because friend to use Facebook.
" Facebook is still doing well in these older age," said eMarketer primary analyst Debra Aho Williamson. "It's true that Instagram is gaining strength amongst those 35 and also older, yet Facebook remains their platform of choice."
" It's where their loved ones are, and its features know and also secure," she added. "Despite Facebook's commonly promoted problems with data privacy, hacking and fake information, most customers in these age groups are still utilizing it."
