Social Media 2023
Readers have just received the first edition of the Social Media 2023 Report, based on gemiusAdReal and Mediapanel research data. The report, which describes Polish social media in a cross-sectional way, is the result of cooperation between Gemius, PBI and the Social Media Group at IAB Polska.
The data in the report has been organized in three chapters:
- "Characteristics of social media users" presents who the people using social media are, taking into account their demographics.
- "Comparison of social media platforms" provides in-depth information on the most important players on the social media market in Poland, including data on duplication between individual websites and the way they are consumed.
- "Advertising market" allows you to find out what industries advertise most willingly on given platforms, or what types of ads are the most popular on them.

According to the data, almost 28 million Internet users aged 7-75 use social media. Most of them are women (51.8% vs. 48.2% men), more often they are also inhabitants of rural areas (36.2%) and people with secondary or higher education (over 65% of users in total).
