India To Have World's Largest Facebook Population By 2016: Study
Washington: Indians are increasingly logging into their Facebook and Twitter accounts, with the country recording the highest social networking growth of 37.4 per cent this year, according to a new study.
India will also have the world’s largest Facebook population by 2016, according to research firm eMarketer.
India, with the highest growth this year, will increase the user numbers by 37.4 per cent, while Indonesia’s numbers will climb 28.7 per cent and Mexico will grow its social network user base by 21.1 per cent.
All the three countries are also high-growth areas for Facebook, the world’s largest social network, which eMarketer estimates will reach a worldwide monthly user base of 1.026 billion this year.
The US remains the single country with the largest number of Facebook users, at 146.8 million this year, and India comes in a distant second.
But with India’s large population and high expected growth rate, eMarketer believes the country will develop the largest Facebook population of any country in the world by 2016.
