There are more than one billion people who use YouTube. If it were a country, it would be the third-largest with more than one billion people. Every day, people watch more than a billion hours of video on their phones.
88 countries around the world have their own versions of YouTube. You can use YouTube in 76 different languages to search for things. It’s thought that 35.6 million people from the UK go to YouTube every month.
Time spent on YouTube grew 40% faster for adults aged 35+ than for everyone else. Male users make up 55% of users, and female users make up the other 45%. YouTube is one of the few social media platforms where people of all ages use it.
Statistics: Why Do They Matter?
Marketers have found that YouTube can be a good way to get their message out there. In fact, 70% of people bought something from a brand after watching something on YouTube. You can also be pretty sure that your target audience is on the platform because there are more than one billion people who use it all over the world.
However, just like with all social networks, you need to know which segments of your audience are on YouTube and what they’re watching. You can make content that speaks to their interests, get the best ROI, and have a lot of success with marketing if you have that information.
That is where YouTube Insight for Audience helps! It is a tool from YouTube that helps find out which people use YouTube and what kind of videos they like.
