Year-over-year growth of Twitter's monthly active users is declining quickly, both globally and in the U.S.

At its peak, within the past three years, Twitter grew internationally by more than 140%. However, as of Q4 2013, that growth is just under 40%, despite reaching 241 million monthly active users.

Research firm eMarketer recently projected that Twitter's growth will slow even more over the next few years. The social platform will need to work hard for continued success.

The following chart, created by Statista, breaks down Twitter's year-over-year growth since 2011.
