Essential Pinterest statistics and trends for 2026

Data published in Pinterest’s own tools^(a) show that Pinterest ads reached 621 million users in October 2026.

This figure places Pinterest 8th in DataReportal’s latest ranking of social media platforms by reported ad reach outside of China, and confirms that Pinterest was one of the most popular services on the internet in late 2026.^(b)

However, it’s important to highlight that advertising reach figures are not a direct proxy for a platform’s overall user base, and — as we’ll explain later — Pinterest’s total active user count may be quite different to these ad audience figures.

Caveats aside though, these latest audience numbers indicate that Pinterest ads reached 7.5 percent of all the people on Earth in October 2026, based on the latest population data from the United Nations.^(c)

But having said that, Pinterest restricts the use of its eponymous platform to people aged 13 and above, so — as we’ll explore below — Pinterest’s “age eligible” adoption rate may be higher than this overall figure suggests.^(b)

And what’s more, Pinterest’s own data shows that Pinterest’s advertising reach enjoyed outstanding growth in the twelve months ending in October 2026.^(a)

More specifically, the total number of users that marketers could reach with Pinterest ads increased by 270 million (+76.8 percent) between October 2025 and October 2026.^(a)

Note: The figures reported above are based on Pinterest’s advertising audience only, and may not be representative of the platform’s total active user base.

Important notes on data and methodology

Unless stated otherwise, all of the figures that we report in this article represent Manochi’s analysis of data sourced directly from Pinterest’s own tools, resources, and statements.

You can find details of individual data sources listed at the bottom of this article.

Where we reference “ad reach” or “ad audience”, please note that the associated figures only identify the number of users or accounts that marketers may be able to reach with Pinterest ads.

These ad reach figures can be a useful indicator of trends in Pinterest adoption and use, but they are not a direct proxy for metrics like monthly active users, and should not be viewed as such.

Indeed, Manochi’s analysis shows that the ad reach figures published by most of the major social media platforms tend to be lower than the overall monthly active user figures that the same companies may publish from time to time in resources such as their investor earnings reports.

Meanwhile, ad reach figures may include duplicate and “inauthentic” accounts, as well as accounts that represent legitimate but “non-human” entities, including pets, businesses, brands, places of interest, music groups, and more.

Consequently, it’s important to stress that the figures you’ll find in this article may not be representative of Pinterest use by unique individuals.

As such, please pay careful attention to the definitions and labels that we use to describe each data point, in order to avoid any potential confusion or misrepresentation.

How many Pinterest users are there in 2026?

Pinterest is one of the world’s most popular social media platforms^(b), but just how many people use Pinterest today?

Based on data published in its own ad planning resources, Pinterest had at least 621 million users around the world in October 2026.^(a)

This figure suggests that 9.4 percent of all the people aged 13 and above around the world used Pinterest at the time of report production.^(c)

However, if we remove the people in this age group who live in China — where Pinterest remained “blocked” at the time of writing — the platform’s “eligible adoption rate” increases to 11.6 percent.^(c)

And for further context, Manochi’s analysis indicates that Pinterest ads reached 10.1 percent of the world’s internet users at the end of 2026.^(b)

Note: The figures reported above are based on Pinterest’s advertising audience only, and may not be representative of the platform’s total active user base.

How fast is Pinterest growing in 2026?

Data published in Pinterest’s ad planning tools suggests that Pinterest’s global potential audience reach figure increased by 76.8 percent in the 12 months leading up to report production.^(a)

To put that figure in perspective, marketers were able to reach 270 million more users with Pinterest ads in October 2026 than they were one year prior.^(a)

And on a quarter-by-quarter basis, Pinterest’s potential ad reach increased by 28.4 million (+4.8 percent) in the three months between July 2026 and October 2026.^(a)

But how do changes in Pinterest’s potential ad reach compare with growth trends for other platforms over the past year?

Well, Manochi’s analysis suggests that Instagram’s global ad reach increased by 48.1 million (+2.5 percent) in the twelve months leading up to October 2026, indicating that Pinterest’s reported reach increased significantly more quickly than Instagram’s reported reach increased during this period.^(d)

Meanwhile, data reported in YouTube’s ad planning tools tools shows that the platform’s total potential reach increased by 189 million (+7.3 percent) between October 2025 and October 2026, suggesting that Pinterest’s reported reach increased considerably more quickly than YouTube’s reported reach increased over the past year.^(d)

Note: The figures reported above are based on each platform’s advertising audience only, and may not be representative of their respective active user bases.

Which countries have the most Pinterest users in 2026?

Our analysis indicates that Pinterest has users all over the world, but some countries see much higher levels of Pinterest use than others.^(b)

Focusing specifically on the platform’s “top ten territories” by ad reach, audience figures published in Pinterest’s own tools^(a) in October 2026 show that:

1. The United States of America had 103 million active Pinterest users
2. India had 64.4 million active Pinterest users
3. Brazil had 48.2 million active Pinterest users
4. Mexico had 31.2 million active Pinterest users
5. Indonesia had 25.7 million active Pinterest users
6. Germany had 24.8 million active Pinterest users
7. The United Kingdom had 18.2 million active Pinterest users
8. France had 18.2 million active Pinterest users
9. Turkey had 15.7 million active Pinterest users
10. The Philippines had 13.2 million active Pinterest users

However, Pinterest’s planning tools only publish audience reach data for a limited selection of geographies, and some countries for which the platform does not publish audience data may have higher levels of Pinterest use than some of the territories shown in the list above.^(b)

Note: The figures reported above are based on Pinterest’s advertising audience only, and may not be representative of the platform’s total active user base.

What do Pinterest’s audience demographics look like in 2026?

Data reported in Pinterest’s planning tools^(a) in October 2026 indicate that:

• 65.5 percent of Pinterest’s audience was “female”

• 28.1 percent of Pinterest’s audience was “male”

• 6.4 percent of Pinterest’s audience was of “unspecified” gender

Note: The figures reported above are based on Pinterest’s advertising audience only, and may not be representative of the platform’s total active user base. At the time of report production, Pinterest’s ad planning tools only published audience data for the gender identifiers shown above. Associated gender names and the ascription of these identifiers to the platform’s users reflect Pinterest’s approaches, definitions, and methodologies.

What’s the average age of Pinterest’s users in 2026?

Based on the data reported in Pinterest’s planning tools, DataReportal’s analysis suggests that the average age of Pinterest users in October 2026 lay somewhere between 25 and 34 years old.^(a)

And for added perspective, the data published in Pinterest’s ad planning tools suggests that female users aged 25 to 34 accounted for the greatest share of active Pinterest users at that time.^(a)

It’s worth highlighting that the average age of Pinterest users varies meaningfully by geography though, so we encourage you to check out the details for the specific countries that matter to you in our free reports library.

Note: The figures reported above are based on Pinterest’s advertising audience only, and may not be representative of the platform’s total active user base.

Note: The figures reported above are based on Pinterest’s advertising audience only, and may not be representative of the platform’s total active user base. Pinterest’s advertising tools also publish limited data for audiences below the age of 18, so the percentage values shown in the list above and in the graphic below may not sum to 100 percent. Meanwhile, data rounding, anomalies in source data, the reporting of audience data for gender identifiers other than “female” and “male”, and the varying availability of data for different demographic parameters also mean that values shown in the list above and in the graphic below may not sum to 100 percent, and may not correlate with gender share values reported earlier in this article.
