The youngest
millennials
are
essentially
still kids
themselves …

A framework for how to think about the data
we’ll be looking at today:
The emphasis on millennials as a heavily—not to say
obsessively—digital cohort tends to overlook the
particular life stage they’ve been at as things like
Facebook and smartphones have come along.
Thus, what we’ve seen in millennials’ digital behavior so
far should not be regarded as a simple precursor of what
we’ll see in years ahead as they become real grownups.
Differences in digital behavior between younger and
older millennials offer hints at where the generation as a
whole is heading.

Lots of digital
resources
came along
as millennials
were at a life
stage where
they had lots
of free time
for using
those things

They’ve taken
their time
about it, but
millennials
are getting
married

Among those
in their 30s,
millennials
who haven’t
married are
the exception
#eMwebinar

With or
without
having gotten
married, older
millennials
en masse
have been
turning into
parents
#eMwebinar

Often with the
arrival of kids
as impetus,
millennials
are defying
predictions
that they
would never
become
homeowners
#eMwebinar

Some brands,
like Mazda in
a commercial
about bringing
a newborn
home, are
alert to the
fact that
millennials are
making these
transitions

The joys of
multitasking
become a bit
less joyful when
it means you
have to do a lot
of chores at once
#eMwebinar

For something as
basic as using at
least one social
network at least
once a month, the
younger-vs.-older
gap is negligible
#eMwebinar
14. © 2016 eMarketer Inc.
The same is
almost true of
something as
widely used as
Facebook,
though older
millennials are a
bit more likely
than younger
ones to be users
#eMwebinar

There’s not a
huge gap in
Twitter user
penetration,
but younger
millennials are
more likely
than older
millennials to
be tweeting
#eMwebinar

Instagram has
significantly
higher user
penetration
among
younger
millennials,
and the gap
shows no sign
of narrowing
in this decade
#eMwebinar

The gap is
wider still for
Snapchat,
even as that
app has
gained a
sizeable
following
among older
millennials
#eMwebinar

Some surveys
suggest that
Pinterest has
been an exception
to the pattern of
higher social
usage by younger
millennials
#eMwebinar
19. © 2016 eMarketer Inc.
Amid these
variations,
though, bear
in mind that
frequent
Facebook
usage is a
common
denominator
among all
millennials
#eMwebinar

Even for the
younger group,
Facebook is a
social site
where
millennials
dwell for lots
of time on a
typical day
#eMwebinar

Smartphone
usage is the
norm across
the millennial
generation, and
it includes a lot
of time staring
at that screen
#eMwebinar
23. © 2016 eMarketer Inc.
Smartphone
penetration is
so high among
millennials
that there is
little disparity
between
younger and
older by that
measure
#eMwebinar

Younger
millennials
spend more
time watching
video on their
smartphones,
and spend
more time on
smartphone
apps/web
usage as well

Based on time
spent online,
older millennials
are more reliant
than younger
ones on
computers—and,
hence, less
reliant on their
phones

One telltale
tidbit: 18- to
29-year-olds
were much
more caught
up in the
Pokémon Go
craze than
were 30- to
44-year-olds
#eMwebinar

Younger
millennials are
also somewhat
more likely to
use their mobile
devices to
access sports
content
#eMwebinar
28. © 2016 eMarketer Inc.
Work emails
via mobile
device are an
exception to
the pattern—
no surprise,
as the older
millennials are
deeper into
careers
#eMwebinar

Tablet user
penetration is
very similar
between older
and younger
millennials, but
the older ones
are more apt to
be handing the
device to their
offspring

Yes, they
spend less
time watching
TV than older
people do. But
millennials
still spend
ample time in
front of their
TV sets
#eMwebinar

About nine in 10
millennials are
TV viewers, with
little gap
between older
and younger as
penetration
slowly declines
#eMwebinar

Millennials
still watch
plenty of
traditional TV,
even if a lot
less than older
people do
#eMwebinar
34. © 2016 eMarketer Inc.
This might
change in the
future, but for
now, the TV set
dominates in both
millennial cohorts
for big events like
the Olympics

Younger
millennials have
an edge in digital
video viewer
penetration, but
the figures are
high for both
subgroups
#eMwebinar

Younger
millennials are
more apt than
older ones to
use some
social
networks as
venues for
viewing digital
video
#eMwebinar

Digital video
provides a
much bigger
portion of the
younger
group’s total
viewing than
of the older
group’s total
viewing

Millennials
across the
generation
have made
usage of
digital tools a
routine part of
their shopping
process
#eMwebinar

Digital buying
is a rare case
in which
millennials—
younger and
older alike—
have a lower
penetration rate
than Gen X and
baby boomer
internet users
#eMwebinar

Grocery
shopping is
an area where
digital buying
has lagged,
but more for
younger than
for older
millennials
#eMwebinar

Convenience
is crucial for
millennial
mothers, and
many shop
digitally
multiple times
a week as a
time-saver
#eMwebinar

When they
deploy their
smartphones for
shopping, both
older and
younger
millennials are
often doing so
in pursuit of
bargains
#eMwebinar
44. © 2016 eMarketer Inc.
This shared
interest in
bargains is
evident in
younger
and older
millennials’
propensity for
buying digitally
on Black Friday
#eMwebinar

Younger and
older millennials
display similar
degrees of
willingness
(or reluctance)
to transact
purchases via
smartphone
#eMwebinar

There are signs
that younger
millennials are
less tolerant than
older millennials
of ads that
intrude on their
digital activity
#eMwebinar

Among
younger
millennials
who do use
ad blockers,
they are
especially apt
to do so on
desktop
computers

Summing up:
The millennials really are growing up. We see this
reflected in the incidence of marriage, parenthood and
home ownership at the older end of the generation.
With more practical responsibilities to handle as they
form family households, older millennials are more likely
to use digital in utilitarian ways, such as for shopping.
And they’ll have less time for recreational usage.
There’s not a simple, consistent pattern of difference
between older and younger millennials in digital usage.
But the younger millennials seem more engaged by the
kill-some-time aspects of digital.
