Global Internet Populations – It’s great to live in this ERA!

Posted by: florj on: April 17, 2009

The Worldwide Internet Audience has grown and shifted dramatically in the past decade:

Europe: +28% internet users
Asia Pacific: + 41%
Middle East and Africa: +5%
Latin America: 7%
North America: 17%

The greatest Internet users are in Asia.

Latin America & Middle East/Africa are fastly catching up.

Consider that in 1996, two-thirds of the world’s Internet population was in the United States.
I remember that time, I was living in Virginia and chatting on aol.com when I was barely 15.
My friends in Italy barely new about the Internet way to communicate!

Today Asia Pacific is the largest region, with China and India demonstrating particular high growth.

Latin America, the Middle East and Africa have experienced the fastest growth but have a low penetration.

Also, Central Europe and Russia are increasing too.
Many emerging regiions are more innovative, in the way that they are making multimedia, video and collaborative content immediately accessible.

Mobile web will likely be more popular in many of this high-growth areas…

Just a tip….
