Facebook remains one of the largest marketing platforms in the world, and the data shows how much potential it holds. Meta’s own tools report that Facebook ads reached about 2.28 billion users in January 2025, or 27.9% of the global population. When looking at internet‑savvy audiences, the reach is even higher, about 35% of people aged 13 and up and 41% of internet users. Independent analysis notes that ads on Facebook reach roughly 34 % of the world’s “age‑eligible” population. In Canada and the United States, the platform is nearly ubiquitous: a Pew Research Center review found that around 79% of American adults use Facebook.
This scale isn’t just vanity. Businesses run campaigns on Facebook because they see returns. Industry analyses suggest that, on average, companies earn more than 1.5 times their ad spend from Facebook advertising. And while static images can work, video is often a smarter bet: marketers report that video ads drive about 30% more clicks than comparable image ads, with so many potential buyers on the platform, and proof that engaging creative pays off, it’s clear why Facebook Ads should be part of any comprehensive marketing strategy.
