This year, 169.5 million people in the US-- or more than half of the populace-- will certainly use Facebook, a 0.9% increase from 2017, according to our price quotes.
By the end of the projecting duration (2022 ), we expect Facebook's user base to grow to 176.3 million. That's thanks, in huge component, to older demographics.
How Old Are Facebook Users?
While more youthful individuals are leaving Facebook at an also much faster speed than we formerly anticipated, older age groups are accessing the social system more-- specifically the 55-to-64 as well as 65-plus age.
" Each of those age will add roughly 1 million brand-new individuals in 2018, which is significant taking into consideration Facebook's individual base as a whole will enhance by only 1.6 million," said eMarketer senior projecting analyst Chris Bendtsen. "What this means is that Facebook is including more new older users than it's losing younger ones."
In general, Facebook's usage amongst 55- to 64-year-olds will certainly raise by 4.9% in 2018. As well as use among those 65 and also older is anticipated to boost by 6.0%.
At the same time, Facebook's usage amongst those 11 and younger will decline 9.3%, while those in the 12-to-17 age and also those in the 18-to-24 age group will certainly decrease by 5.6% and also 4.5%, specifically.
Teens may be changing from Facebook, however it's still the No. 1 social media among millennials, Gen Xers and also boomers.
As a matter of fact, baby boomers prefer Facebook over other social applications, like Pinterest, Instagram as well as specifically Snapchat. This year, we expect 31.9 million people in that cohort to utilize Facebook.
" Facebook is still carrying out well in these older age groups," stated eMarketer major analyst Debra Aho Williamson. "It holds true that Instagram is gaining strength amongst those 35 as well as older, however Facebook stays their system of selection."
" It's where their loved ones are, and also its functions are familiar as well as risk-free," she added. "In spite of Facebook's extensively promoted issues with data privacy, hacking as well as fake news, a lot of users in these age are still utilizing it."
