Twitter's growth is expected to come from outside United States
Mumbai: Twitter is projected to top 300 million users worldwide in 2016 and have nearly 400 million users by 2018, according to a new report from eMarketer.
Although that might sound like a lot in the aggregate, the data shows just how much Twitter’s user growth is slowing on a year-over-year basis.
To make matters worse, Twitter execs had reportedly expected to hit 400 million users in 2013. If eMarketer is right, it will take at least five additional years for Twitter to hit that milestone.
The social networking site reported having 255 million monthly active users in the first quarter of this year, up from 204 million for the same quarter a year earlier.
According to eMarketer, much of Twitter’s user growth in the next few years is expected to come from outside the United States.
