While researching a presentation I am giving in one week at the National Forum on Criminal Justice and Public Safety I came across some awesomely fresh mobile marketing data. The mobile data report I found was released by mobiThinking and it provides key insight into apps, mobile internet usage, mobile user behavior and much more.
Here are a few bullets I found to be extra intriguing: (all information provided below came from the mobiThinking “Global mobile statistics 2011: all quality mobile marketing research, mobile Web stats, subscribers, ad revenue, usage, trends…” report)
1.) There will be over 500 million m-payment, m-banking, NFC users by 2015
2.) There are 5.3 billion mobile subscribers (that’s 77 percent of the world population).
3.) Half a billion people accessed mobile Internet worldwide in 2009. Usage is expected to double within five years as mobile overtakes the PC as the most popular way to get on the Web.
4.) Android is expected to become the top OS for new smartphones in 2011.
5.) SMS is the king of mobile messaging. 8 trillion text messages will be sent in 2011.
But consumers are also embracing mobile email, IM and MMS rapidly.
6.) Mobile ad spend worldwide is predicted to be US $3.3 billion in 2011 sky rocketing to $20.6 billion in 2015, driven by search ads and local ads. In the US over half of U.S. mobile ad spending is local. Asia – Japan particularly – continues to dominate global mobile ad spend.
7.) Over 300,000 mobile apps have been developed in three years. Apps have been downloaded 10.9 billion times. But demand for download mobile apps is expected to peak in 2013.
8.) 1 in 4 mobile apps once downloaded are never used again.
There is plenty of other mobile data in the report by mobiThinking including mobile usage behavior and more mobile marketing critical details. If your into internet marketing you will want to pay special attention to point #3 above, one day in the not too distant future people will use a smartphone or tablet to access the web (mobile web) to browse the internet.
Tell me what you think about this report and are you making changes in your internet/mobile internet marketing plans?
