In Switzerland, Instagram Adoption Is Rapid

But it's still far behind Facebook penetration

Instagram’s user base in Switzerland has almost tripled since 2015, according to eMarketer’s latest forecast. More than half (52.7%) of social network users in the country, or 1.9 million people, will access the platform regularly in 2018.

eMarketer expects user growth will rise by more than 14% this year. By 2022, almost 60% of all social network users in the country will use the platform at least once a month. But while Instagram’s adoption has been rapid in Switzerland, it is still far behind Facebook penetration, which will be used by more than 83% of all social network users this year.

“Like many markets globally, Switzerland has experienced strong uptake of Instagram, and for many of the same reasons,” eMarketer forecasting analyst Eric Haggstrom said.

“The social network has become popular due to features such as Stories, photo filters and videos. This demonstrates a general shift towards sharing more visual content on social networks. Switzerland also benefits from relatively high smartphone usage and access to high-speed mobile data, which are both driving factors in Instagram adoption,” he added.
