Marketing statistics overview for 2024

Social media usage statistics

Ever wondered just how much we’re all glued to our phones and feeds? Here’s what the latest numbers reveal about social media usage worldwide:

Social media statistics dashboard displaying various metrics.
  • There are now 5.17 billion social media users across the globe.
  • The average person is active on 6.7 social networks each month.
  • 143 minutes per day, that’s how long the average internet user spends on social media.
  • TikTok holds the fastest growth crown, doubling (100% user growth) between 2020 and 2022.
  • From Q3 2022 to Q3 2023, TikTok’s monthly active users shot up by 13%.
  • 320 million new social users joined between Jan 2023 and Jan 2024.

What does this mean? Even if the growth looks a bit slower lately, it’s only because almost everyone’s already on. Still, there are tons of opportunities, especially for brands that mix things up and don’t just stick to one channel.

Social Media Advertising Statistics

Organic reach is dropping, but the world isn’t done with social ads, far from it:

  • Overall ad spend is set to climb by 6.1% this year.
  • Social media ads = 28.8% of all digital ad dollars.
