Pinterest Usage Statistics
First, let’s look at a few Pinterest statistics regarding usage. These stats reveal more about this year’s latest state of the platform.#1. Pinterest is the 14th most popular social network worldwide.
Pinterest has not won any awards in the social-media popularity contest. It is not in the top 10 social media sites for the monthly active users. In addition, Facebook is the most used social media site worldwide and has over 8x as many users. That does not mean that Pinterest isn’t useful for marketers. After all, reach is not everything.
#2. Pinterest platform had 454 million MAUs (Monthly Active Users) in 2nd quarter of 2021.

As of the second quarter of 2021, the Pinterest platform had 454 million monthly active users. Surprisingly, this is down by nearly 24 million from the previous quarter. However, it is essential to note a slight drop in users during the previous quarter. This is due to a rapid increase in users over the last two years, which was influenced by changing consumer behavior due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, Pinterest’s audience increased from 291 at the beginning of 2019 to 478 million at the beginning of 2021.
#3 Pinterest is the second-fastest-growing social media platform.

Furthermore, Instagram is one of Pinterest’s main competitors, increased at half of the rate and grew its user base by 16% in the same duration. TikTok increased at the fastest rate and grew its monthly active users by around 38%, Twitter grew only 8%, and Facebook grew nearly 19%.

This is still far behind YouTube, the dedicated video hosting platform where users watch 5 billion videos every day, but it’s still impressive.
#5. Pinterest users have saved more than 240 billion Pins to date.
Pins are similar to bookmarks on Pinterest if you didn’t know. When people come across a video or an image they like, they may ‘Pin’ it to save it to their Pinterest board so they can return to it later.
