Key stat: 53.7% of US marketers will use Instagram Reels for influencer marketing this year, making it the top platform for influencer marketing according to our forecast.

Beyond the chart:

• Our July forecast shows Instagram will be used by 97.6% of US marketers in 2023 due to its diverse content formats, extensive creator tools, and large audience.
• TikTok’s engagement rates are higher than Instagram Reels’; which could attract the other half of US marketers who have not yet used this platform.
