Carried out by Vindicia and reported by thenextweb.com, the statistic highlights the potential for growth in the market.<\/p>\n
Singletons – who may have been particularly active recently as they sought a date for Valentine's Day – are happy to use this medium in order to find that special someone.<\/p>\n
Sanjay Sarathy, chief marketing officer of Vindicia, pointed to the growth of social media as one of the main reasons for the hike.<\/p>\n
"Innovations in technology are expediting growth in the dating business, whether this is via location-based mobile apps, or by tapping into large and growing communities such as Facebook," he added.<\/p>\n
Mr Sarathy continued by saying that there is "boundless" potential for the market to grow.<\/p>\n
Earlier this month, American Express revealed consumers will spend $196 (£125) on Valentine's Day.<\/p>\n
