Facebook Statistics


Despite some decline in use by certain age demographics, and a recent campaign to delete Facebook accounts promoted by large brands, Facebook still remains the largest and more influential social network in the world.

For marketers, advertisers, and users, there are questions about what exactly is Facebook's reach, as well as its strengths and weaknesses. People still want to know the answers to questions, such as: "Who predominantly uses Facebook and why?" "When are the best times to share content or reach your audience?" What kinds of content performs best?" And more.
