Twitter's User Growth is The Lowest it's Ever Been

Twitter's User Growth is The Lowest it's Ever Been

In the first quarter of 2011, Twitter posted year-on-year user growth of more than 250 percent.

Incredibly, it maintained 200 percent year-on-year increases for another 12 months, through to Q1 2012. But in Q2 2012, Twitter’s user growth percentage fell sharply, and it’s never recovered.

In their Q3 2014 earnings report, Twitter recorded 284 million active users, representing year-on-year growth of just 23 percent – the lowest 12-month total Twitter has ever seen.

For the sake of comparison, when Facebook had this many active users, it was still seeing year-on-year growth of more than 200 percent.
