The Asia-Pacific region is expected to be the biggest driver of social network
growth in the next few years, while developed markets such as North America and
Western Europe are slowly approaching
saturation. With approximately 777 million users, Asia-Pacific currently has
the largest social network audience. China
alone has more social network users than North America and Western
Europe combined.

Until 2015, eMarketer predicts annual double digit growth for social networks
around the world. By 2017, 2.55 billion or one in three people could be using
social networks according to the report.
