Social media continues to dominate our digital landscape in 2025, with 5.24 billion active user identities worldwide, representing over 60% of the global population[3]. This figure has grown by 4.1% over the past year, though growth is slowing as markets reach saturation[3].
Facebook remains the undisputed leader with 3.065 billion monthly active users, followed closely by YouTube, Instagram, and WhatsApp[1]. Despite challenges from newer platforms, Facebook maintains its dominance especially among the 25-34 age bracket, who make up 31.1% of its user base[2].
In America specifically, social media penetration stands at 72.5%, with 246 million active users as of January 2025[5]. The American social media landscape saw modest growth of 2.93% over the past year, adding 7 million new users[5].
The demographic breakdown in the US shows the 25-34 age group leading with 44.7 million monthly active users, followed by 35-44 year olds with 40.9 million[5]. Gender distribution reveals a slight female majority with 120.7 million female users compared to 111.4 million male users[5].
Millennials continue to be the most active on social media, with projections showing 69.2% of this demographic using these platforms in 2025[2]. Daily engagement remains significant, with the average person spending 2 hours and 21 minutes on social media platforms each day[4].
Facebook has established itself as the preferred platform for customer care across multiple generations and leads in social commerce, with 39% of direct social media purchases occurring there, ahead of TikTok at 36% and Instagram at 29%[2].
As we move through 2025, we're witnessing a maturing social media landscape where growth is stabilizing but engagement remains deeply integrated into daily life. Platform preferences continue to show generational divides, with younger users gravitating toward more visual and video-centric platforms while Facebook maintains its position as the cornerstone of the social media universe.
