    • X (Twitter)8.0%[3]â–¼ 0.8pp

    Figures are ad-tool audience reach, not monthly active users. Reporting bases differ by platform: % of adults 18+ (TikTok); % of total population (YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Messenger, X (Twitter)).

    Search engine share (Statcounter)2025

    • Google (Search)93.1%[1]

    Share of the search engine market (Statcounter), a single snapshot rather than an ad-reach figure. Search ads effectively reach the full online population.

    Share of web traffic by device, latest period 2025.

    Mobile 40.2% Desktop 59.4% Tablet 0.4%[4]

    Statcounter share of web traffic: a structural metric that moves only slightly year to year, shown at the latest available reading as the 2025 reference.

    Platform movement

    Year-on-year social ad-reach trend from the annual DataReportal editions, 2024 to 2025.

    Columns are labeled by the calendar year each figure represents; the source citation names the DataReportal edition, which publishes the following year (e.g. the 2025 column cites Digital 2026). Search share is shown in Platform usage, not here. Platforms occasionally revise audience reporting, so large jumps can reflect methodology changes as well as real growth.
