India has the most number of registered Facebook users not only in Asia but in the world. There are now more than 251 million Facebook users in India, becoming the single largest audience country for the social media giant. However, despite the strong gains social media penetration remains relatively low in India as compared to other regions.
With 131 million, Indonesia has the second highest number of Facebook users in Asia. The number of users increased by six per cent in the last year. It is followed by Japan with 71 million users. Surveys, however, show that most Facebook users in Japan are adults while younger ones are taking to other social sites like Instagram and Twitter.
Philippines has the fourth highest number of Facebook users in Asia with 62 million people registered on the social networking site. It is the most popular networking site in the country and the number of Facebook users almost matches the number of Internet users in the country.
