Facebook User Count
This year, 169.5 million people in the US-- or more than half of the populace-- will utilize Facebook, a 0.9% increase from 2017, according to our price quotes.
By the end of the forecasting period (2022 ), we expect Facebook's individual base to expand to 176.3 million. That's thanks, in huge component, to older demographics.
How Old Are Facebook Users?
While younger customers are leaving Facebook at an even quicker speed than we formerly expected, older age groups are accessing the social system a lot more-- specifically the 55-to-64 and 65-plus age.
" Each of those age groups will include about 1 million new users in 2018, which is purposeful thinking about Facebook's individual base in its entirety will increase by only 1.6 million," said eMarketer senior projecting analyst Chris Bendtsen. "What this means is that Facebook is adding a lot more brand-new older individuals than it's losing younger ones."
Overall, Facebook's usage amongst 55- to 64-year-olds will raise by 4.9% in 2018. As well as use among those 65 and also older is expected to boost by 6.0%.
On the other hand, Facebook's use among those 11 as well as more youthful will decrease 9.3%, while those in the 12-to-17 age group and those in the 18-to-24 age group will decrease by 5.6% and also 4.5%, specifically.
Teens may be moving from Facebook, but it's still the No. 1 social media amongst millennials, Gen Xers as well as boomers.
Actually, infant boomers prefer Facebook over other social apps, like Pinterest, Instagram and specifically Snapchat. This year, we expect 31.9 million people in that mate to use Facebook.
" Facebook is still performing well in these older age groups," claimed eMarketer major expert Debra Aho Williamson. "It's true that Instagram is gaining strength among those 35 and older, but Facebook stays their system of selection."
" It's where their loved ones are, as well as its functions recognize as well as risk-free," she included. "Despite Facebook's commonly publicized issues with data personal privacy, hacking and phony information, many customers in these age are still utilizing it."
