Facebook was Singapore’s most popular social media app with an average penetration rate of ** percent as of June 2016. Nevertheless, Facebook does not seem to be the platform of the future. Only about ** percent of respondents aged 15 to 24 years old had a Facebook app installed on their mobile phone, slightly less than Instagram, which had an installation rate of ** percent.
In a country where almost everyone has access to the internet, social media plays an important role in the purchasing behavior of Singaporeans. With **** million inhabitants and *** million internet users, Singapore has one of the highest Internet penetration rates in the world. It was forecasted that around *** million inhabitants use social media on their mobile phones, representing almost ** percent of all Singaporean internet users.

Other than that, it depends on what was considered a social media platform too. If you count YouTube and WhatsApp as social media platforms, they would emerge as the most popular. However, considering only the traditional platforms, Facebook remains by far the market leader, followed by Instagram and Twitter.
