Instagram is expected to contribute half of the company’s advertising revenue in the United States in the coming years.

Current projections from eMarketer suggest that Instagram’s US advertising revenue will exceed US$32 billion by 2025.

This marks a more than 24% increase compared to 2024. The platform has a user base of over 148 million in the US.

Meta’s focus on video content is driving this revenue growth.
