Hootsuite: Social media in 2022
Hootsuite/We Are Social’s Digital 2022 report is out, with global insights into a year in which social media use is up, social commerce is here, and advertising is facing a reckoning.
There’s loads to look at, and you can find the full report here, but we’re focusing on social media use and its changes.
Why it matters
While it may have felt like online life couldn’t be more saturated with social media, it continues to gain users and time spent. But interestingly, there is no one dominant platform: the average number of social platforms used each month is 7.5. There is space outside the biggest.
The story
Here is a selection of key figures from the report:
- 424 million additional users have joined social media.
- 93.4% of internet users are social media users.
- 58.4% of the world’s total population uses social.
