Pinterest Social Media Statistics You Must Know in 2023

Last updated on March 25th, 2023 by A1 True Jobs

In terms of global active users, Pinterest ranks as the 14th largest platform in the world as of January 2022.

The platform beats both Twitter and Reddit, but ranks below social networks like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and Snapchat.

In February 2021, Pinterest reported 459 million monthly active users — that was the biggest year over year increase the platform had ever seen (up 37% year over year). But in February 2022, they reported a 6% decrease.

Pinterest is vastly overlooked as a marketing platform. If strong visuals are part of your content marketing strategy, then it makes total sense to get on Pinterest (especially if your audience is active there).

Best Time to Post on Pinterest

Pinterest users skew heavily female, and 29% of users are active on this channel on a regular basis.

• The best times to post on Pinterest are 8 to 11 p.m. and, interestingly, 2 p.m. to 4:00 a.m. This could indicate some interest in the platform in non-North American time zones, which means global content is all the more important here.
• Contrasting many of the other channels we've listed here, evening commutes tend to be some of the worst times to post to Pinterest. That could be due to the fact that it's not as "browseable," with many pins requiring navigation away from the channel.
• Fridays and Saturdays may be the best times. This makes sense since people often use Pinterest to plan projects (and weekends are a good time to plan for the coming weeks).
