The pie charts display the main social networks for the users in England, Wales, North Ireland, and Scotland and predicted numbers for 2018.
Overall, Facebook had the biggest market share in 2010 and it is expected to grow even more in the future. Twitter will continue to be significant in 2018, with only a small decline, but all others will fail to minimal levels.
In 2010, Facebook had nearly a half of the overall share and this is set to increase nearly three quarters of the total in 2018. Twitter was the second most used social media network with nearly a fifth, in 2010 and it is predicted that this will remain the second biggest network, with only around a 1% drop in 2018.
Pinterest is set to become the biggest loser with a loss of nearly 10%, from 16.95% to 7.25%. It is thought that Google plus will become the least used social media network in 2018 with a drop of nearly 8% to just 2.9%. Despite Bebo being used by nearly a tenth of British users in 2010, it is projected to disappear completely by 2018.
