EMarketer: 26% Of U.S. Consumers Access Social Networks On Mobile Today, Facebook 85% Of That
Figures out today from eMarketer estimate that in the U.S., just under 82 million consumers, or 26% of the population,will access social networks from their phones this year, rising to nearly 117 million by 2014. But if you are a social networking startup that sees that low-penetration figure as an opportunity, be aware that at the moment Facebook has all but cornered the market, and that the market is slowing down. Facebook today accounts for 85% of all mobile social networking activity, and that proportion is only growing: eMarketer projects that Facebook will account87.4% by 2014 -- orfour out of every 10 mobile users and nearly two-thirds of smartphone users.Meanwhile, growth in social network on mobile is slowing right down, from 50% in 2011 to 18% by 2014.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/UM98jqaRJMc/
