‘Global online population reaches 3bn: report’ – ‘Econsultancy’ Blog
David Moth says, “This may come as a surprise, but apparently the internet is proving to be remarkably popular.
According to the most recent calculations more than 3bn people now have access to the internet, which equates to around 42% of the global population.
If you compare the online population in 2014 to that in 2000 then you see that developing regions have seen the sharpest growth, which obviously stands to reason.
For example, Africa’s growth rate is a whopping 6,498% compared to 3,303% in the Middle East and 1,672 in Latin America.
But Asia is way ahead in terms of total numbers with 1.38bn internet users compared to 582m in Europe”.
