User Base Growth: WeChat doing better than Facebook!

When we decided to compare WeChat with Facebook, we believed, no other service could beat Facebook.

WeChat will not beat Facebook reach because the service will not be used on personal computer: the usage is, first, on smartphones, second, on tablets.

However, WeChat growth is 20 times stronger than Facebook. 24 months after the launch, Facebook had 9 million users while WeChat has 180 million user (estimate from VALUE2020 Consulting firm).

The limits on expanding the user base are the need for an advanced technology (smartphone or tablet): in India, many people don’t hold the right device to use the service. According to VALUE2020, India represents the largest user base of WeChat abroad. The team of WeChat India is very active with its local partners in organizing games, giving away gifts against traffic increase and user growth.

Top 10 Countries (estimates – real figures not disclosed by Tencent)

1/ China
(over 90%)

2/ India
(local partners: Ibibo, Fox Star Studios)

3/ Malaysia

4/ Indonesia
(other chat app called Qute still updated in 2012)

5/ Vietnam

6/ Thailand
(local partners: Sanook Online & Exact)

7/ Hong-Kong 
(local partners: Maxus Communicationsk, Harbor City mall, JCDecaux)

8/ Singapore

9/ Taiwan

10/ The United States

Egyptian users like the app as well. British & American ad agencies are closely looking at this new marketing tool.
