A recent report studying Pinterest users by age shows that the age range with the highest number of Pinterest users is 18 to 24. As many as 29.6% (or close to one in three) of Pinterest users worldwide fall into this category.
If your target audience falls into this age range, you should definitely consider using Pinterest to boost your brand’s presence and grow your business. Separately, it may be of interest to note that this is also the largest age range to which Instagram users belong. An analysis of Instagram users’ age demographics shows that 31.7% of Instagram users are between 18 and 24 years of age.
Breaking this down further, we see that this age group is made up of 20.5% of females and 7.3% of males. The remaining 1.8% do not identify with either. In other words, around one out of every five active Pinterest users is a female aged between 18 and 24.
The second-largest age group to which Pinterest users belong is the 25–34 range. More than one in four (27.3%) Pinterest users are in this category. What this breakdown of the age demographics of Pinterest users shows is that the large majority of them (56.9%) are aged 18 to 34.
This is followed by the 35–44 category, which 18.1% of Pinterest users fall into. The 45–54 and 55–64 age ranges follow, with 11.1% and 8.5%, respectively.
Finally, the age group with the lowest number of Pinterest users is those aged 65 and above. They make up just 5.4% of Pinterest users. This is in line with a study analyzing social media age demographics, which shows that people aged 60 and above are the least likely to be active users of social media.
