This year, 47% of world’s population will access the internet - eMarketer
eMarketer has raised its projections for worldwide internet users for 2016 to 2021, mainly because of increases in China and other countries in Asia-Pacific, Central and Eastern Europe and Western Europe. According to eMarketer’s new report, “Worldwide Internet and Mobile Users: eMarketer’s Estimates for 2016-2021” (available only to eMarketer PRO subscribers), nearly 47% of the world’s population will use the internet at least once a month in 2017 (either via desktop/laptop or mobile device), a 6.1% increase vs. 2016. eMarketer estimates internet adoption will surpass the halfway mark in 2019, when 50.6% of the worldwide population will use the internet, equating to 3.82 billion people.
