Ah, Pinterest – the virtual haven for all your dreamy wedding plans, mouthwatering recipes, and ambitious DIY projects. Remember when it seemed like Pinterest was the talk of the town, and then suddenly, it faded into the background? Well, here we are in the land of 2023, and it's time to do a little reality check on Pinterest's growth.
Let's hop on a trip down memory lane as we revisit 2018. In the midst of an exhilarating era, Pinterest emerged as a true powerhouse, making waves by surpassing an astonishing 10 million downloads in January alone, according to our trustworthy estimates.
It's undeniable that Pinterest was not only making a significant impact but also captivating the attention of millions of eager users. In a constant ebb and flow throughout the year, the download numbers exhibited a playful dance akin to a yo-yo. At times, they gracefully dipped to around 7 million in April, while on other occasions, they confidently hovered within the realm of an impressive 8 to 9 million.
Looking back on the year 2019, we can see a familiar pattern emerging, but with some improved numbers. In fact, we reached an impressive milestone of over 11 million downloads in December alone. Could it be attributed to the holiday spirit adding an extra sprinkle of excitement?
But then...cue the dramatic music...2020 happened. The COVID surge has had some unexpected yet positive effects. Based on reliable estimates, Pinterest experienced an astounding increase in downloads, reaching a staggering 16.7 million in July. It seems like people all over the world have taken this opportunity to embrace their DIY aspirations while being confined to their homes.
Unfortunately, the high that Pinterest experienced in 2020 was short-lived. After reaching its peak, the number of downloads for the app went through a roller coaster ride of fluctuations. Although it never fully regained its July 2020 glory, Pinterest stabilized and returned to the growth trend it had established in 2018 and 2019 by 2022.
Undoubtedly, there were some moments of turbulence that left us in awe. Take January 2023, for example, when the world collectively hit the "Pin It" button a staggering 13.8 million times. Although slightly lower by June, with 12.6 million clicks, this is still an impressive number showcasing our platform's ongoing appeal and engagement.
You won't believe what happened next! In a surprising turn of events, Pinterest's download numbers skyrocketed close to an impressive 14 million mark by July. Thanks to favorable winds, the platform experienced phenomenal growth that left everyone in awe.
So, let's circle back to the burning question: Is Pinterest still growing? Well, hold onto your virtual hats because the answer is yes!
Despite not experiencing the same explosive growth as before, Pinterest is far from being a sinking ship. In the ever-changing world of social media, Pinterest has established itself as a reliable and consistent platform. While it may not be setting any speed records, it remains steady amidst the trends. Millions of people are irresistibly drawn to its enchanting pixelated shores every month.
Rest assured; Pinterest is far from fading away into obscurity. While it may have had its peak moments, this platform is resilient, like a seasoned sailor who has weathered the storm. It continues to navigate the ever-changing tides of user engagement, keeping its sails unfurled and riding the waves of popularity.
When you're seeking a creative spark and in need of visual inspiration, Pinterest is your go-to destination. With its vast collection of captivating images, it's like embarking on a journey filled with limitless possibilities and dreamy visions. Let Pinterest be your guide as you explore new ideas and let your imagination soar.
