The state of Social Media in 2023
Social media use still isn’t evenly distributed around the world.
Adoption rates are highest in Northern and Western Europe, where active social media user identities equate to more than 83 percent of regional populations.
For easier comparison, these figures suggest that roughly 5 in every 6 people living in these regions use social media today.
Meanwhile, the number of active user identities across North America points to an adoption rate that’s closing in on three-quarters of the region’s total population.
