According to eMarketer, this year, 2.46 billion individuals will access social networks at least once a month. That constitutes one-third of the global population and 71.0% of internet users. This number is up 8.2% from 2016.

So what is driving this growth?

According to the researchers at eMarketer, it is global mobile phone adoption and expanding mobile coverage that will be drive that growth.
