X Ads Audience in Portugal: Forecast Reach by Age Range and Gender

X Ads Audience in Portugal: Forecast Reach by Age Range and Gender

X Ads provides a built-in forecast of how many accounts you can potentially reach in Portugal based on your targeting selections. Unlike most ad platforms, X does not let you target any arbitrary age band. Instead, you can select from fixed options such as 18+, 18-24, 25-49, 35-49, 35-54, and 50+.

To make the dataset usable for planning, we compiled two views. The first is the forecasted audience size for the age ranges that are actually available for targeting in X Ads.

Audience size available for targeting in X Ads in Portugal

Age ranges available for targeting 18+ 18-24 25-49 35-49 35-54 50+
Woman 451,900 152,400 256,700 73,800 85,800 42,800
Men 933,300 212,800 597,000 233,600 275,900 123,300
Total 1,385,200 365,200 853,700 307,400 361,700 166,100

The second is our estimated gender and age structure by generations, derived by matching and reconciling the available age ranges. That second view is useful for understanding distribution, but it cannot be targeted directly on the platform (for example, 25-34 is not an age option in X Ads).

Methodology. The analysis is based on the X Ads forecast tool and uses the minimum available 30 day audience estimates. The data reflects only users with a specified gender and age range, excludes overlap with other targeting layers, and does not include unknown gender or unknown age. Treat these numbers as technical reach in unique users. Converting accounts into an estimate of real people requires additional calibration. The generation-level estimates can be slightly higher or lower due to rounding in the forecast tool, and the deviation should remain within 4-5% inside each stated segment.
