About 5.2–5.7 billion people use social media today, which is roughly two‑thirds of the world’s ~8 billion people (around 64–69% of the global population).

Quick Scoop

  • Recent estimates put global social media users at around 5.24–5.66 billion people.
  • That works out to roughly 2 in every 3 people on Earth using social platforms.
  • Many newer reports describe this as a social media “supermajority,” since users now outnumber non‑users by about two to one.

So if you picture a room of 10 random people from around the world, it’s likely that 6–7 of them are on social media in some form.
