The largest age group on OnlyFans is 18–34 year-olds, who account for an estimated 65–70% of the user base. The 18–24 cohort alone represents approximately 35% of users. Users aged 35–44 make up around 20%, while those 45 and older account for roughly 10–15%. The platform's demographic skews younger than most traditional entertainment services.
Approximately 75–80% of OnlyFans paying subscribers identify as male, with 15–20% identifying as female and 3–5% identifying as non-binary or other. However, female subscriber growth has outpaced male subscriber growth over the past three years, and the female subscriber demographic is the fastest-growing segment on the platform.
The United States is by far the largest market, accounting for an estimated 30–35% of all OnlyFans users and an even higher share of revenue. The UK is the second-largest market at around 8–10%. Other top countries include Canada, Australia, Germany, France, Brazil, and Mexico. English-speaking markets collectively represent over 50% of platform revenue.
