The figures show that as more and more of the world's population becomes socially networked, the annual growth rate of users inevitably slows down. Thus, while in 2012 the global users increased by 17,6%, in 2013 the increase is 14,2%, while the estimate is for an increase of 12,6% in 2014, 9,5% in 2015, 8,9% in 2016 and 7,6% in 2017.

In global level, it is estimated that the penetration of social networks by 20,1% in 2012 increased to 22,7% this year and is expected to reach 25,3% in 2014, 27,4% in 2015, 29,6% in 2016 and 31,5% in 2017, when now almost one in three inhabitants of the Earth will be online on a social network .

The higher rate penetration of social networks by country is located in Netherlands (63,5%) followed by Sweden (63,3%), South Korea (56,4%), Denmark (54,4%), United States (53,3%), Finland (51,7%), Canada (51,3%) and Britain (51,2%).
