Number of Facebook Users in Armenia Surpasses 1,8 million

Number of Facebook users grew 17% in January 2021 compared to the year before and reached 1.8 million according to the data published by NapoleonCat. The growth continued also in February and now stands at 1 804 000, which accounts for 61.5% of Armenia’s entire population.

The majority of Facebook users were women – 50.6%. People aged 25 to 34 were the largest user group (520 000). The highest difference between men and women occurs within people aged 55 to 64, where women lead by 41 000.

Ok.ru (Odnoklassniki) also remains strong in Armenia, with Alexa.com occasionally showing it ahead of Facebook. The only data I could find on OK.ru use in Armenia is dated May 2020. With 1.1 million users it is still massively popular in the country of around 3 million.

PS: All these charts tell us one thing — Armenians should find better things to do than hang out in social networks all the time! (I am, of course joking, or am I?)
