Here’s how many Singaporeans use social media

The portion of users dropped this year, compared to 2022.

Out of the 6 million total population in Singapore, only 84.7%, or around 5.08 million are actively using social media, a report found.

In its Digital 2023 report, We Are Social and Meltwater found that social media users in Singapore declined from 5.3 million in 2022. This accounted for 89.5% of the total population at the time.

Globally, there are 4.76 million social media users, making up 59.4% of the total population.

The markets with the highest number of social media users are UAE (105.5%), South Korea (92%), Hong Kong (89.9%), the Netherlands (88.1%), Canada (85.7%), and Germany (85.1%).

Singapore ranked eighth, followed by Norway (84.5), and Taiwan and the UK with 84.4%.

The report noted that in the case of UAE, the number exceeded due to issues such as duplicate and “fake accounts.”

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
