With Facebook unveiling an integrated messaging system for its more than 500 million users, I decided to update a few charts that breakdown its users by region.
I. Percentage share of active users (weekly): note the steady rise in the share of users from Asia.
II. Market Penetration: Less than 3% penetration in Facebook’s high-growth regions in Asia & Africa.
III. Percent Share of each Age Group (within each Region): Relative to the U.S. (33%), the share of users ages 18-25 continues to be higher in Asia (44%), Africa (41%), and the Middle East / N. Africa (39%).
