Snapchat isn't just popular with U.S. teens.
The popular smartphone app, which according to Bloomberg is in talks with Alibaba to raise new funding at a $10 billion valuation, has gone global.
At BI Intelligence, we recently dove into all the publicly available data on Snapchat for our most recent in-depth look at the emerging social network. The table below is from that report, published late last month.
Analysts seldom talk about Snapchat's global reach, but it has become a number one iPhone app in 13 countries and a number two or three app in 15 others.
Many of these countries are wealthy consumer markets in Northern Europe, the Middle East, and the English-speaking world. These are places where young people - Snapchat's core users - wield considerable spending power.
