Get in touch with us nowFacebook: quarterly MAU in Europe Q4 2012-Q1 2021
More people are using Facebook in Europe than ever before, with the company recording 423 million monthly active users (MAUs) in the first quarter of 2021. That represents a growth of four million active users from the previous quarter, and 153 million users from the fourth quarter of 2012. It also marks the ninth consecutive period of growth, after the company lost millions of MAU at the same time news of the Cambridge Analytica scandal broke.
Monthly active users worldwide
In the fourth quarter of 2008 Facebook provided a service for just 100 million active users. Thirteen years on, as of the first quarter of 2021 that number had risen to an astounding 2.85 billion MAUs. The number of MAUs has never taken a backward step during that time.
Growth outside of Europe and North America
Facebook continues to focus on regions outside of Europe and North America, and the reward of this effort can be seen in areas such as the Asia Pacific Region, where the company has seen significant gains in terms of growing the active user base. Facebook reached over 744 million daily active user (DAU) barrier in the fourth quarter of 2020.
