In 2017, there were over 4,156 million Internet users in the world.<\/p>\n

Internet usage information comes from data published by Nielsen Online, by the International Telecommunications Union, by GfK, by local ICT Regulators and other reliable sources.<\/p><\/div>\n

By December 31st 2017, there were over 4,156 million Internet users in the world.<\/p>\n

A recent study from Internet World Stats<\/a> just proved Asia collects up to 48.7% of the Internet users in the world by region.<\/p>\n

In a far second place is Europe with 17.0%, Africa with 10.9%, and Latin America and the Caribbean with 10.5%. North America, the Middle East and Oceania\/Australia finished at the bottom.<\/p>\n

Users and Internet penetration: not the same<\/strong><\/h2>\n

However, despite the large amount of people with access to the web, Internet penetration is not as good for the regions with large amounts of web users.<\/p>\n

North America, for example, placed at number 5 in the amount of people using the web, is number 1 in web penetration.<\/p>\n

Europe (85.2%), Australia (68.9%), Latin America and the Caribbean (67.0%), and the Middle East (64.5%) continue the ranking as they position themselves above the world average, which comes down to 54.4%.<\/p>\n

Asia and Africa, numbers 1 and 3 among the amount of users, are the two regions with the less amount of Internet penetration in the world.<\/p>\n

A rising trend for Asia<\/strong><\/h2>\n

According to a Business Insider article<\/a>, southeast Asia grew 70 million new users since 2015, making this region the third-largest market globally in terms of web users.<\/p>\n

As consumers spend 3.6 hours per day on the mobile internet, more than any other market, Internet usage is set to peak even more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
