Mobile internet user penetration in APAC 2018-2030

In 2023, mobile internet user penetration in the Asia-Pacific region reached 51 percent, marking an increase from 49 percent in 2018. The user penetration of mobile internet is projected to grow to 61 percent by 2030. Mobile internet usage in the APAC regionMobile internet usage in the Asia-Pacific region saw a significant increase in recent years, transforming the way people access and interact with the online world. The number of mobile internet subscribers in APAC reached approximately 1.29 billion in 2022, marking a substantial growth compared to 2015, when there were slightly over 700 million mobile internet users in the region. This growth can be attributed to several factors, including the widespread adoption of smartphones. According to a 2022 survey, mobile internet usage in the Philippines averaged five hours per day, while in Japan, the average time spent on mobile internet was approximately 1.5 hours. The increase in the number of mobile internet users has important consequences for businesses, as it influences how consumers behave, stimulates the growth of e-commerce, and accelerates digital transformation across different industries in APAC. 5G technology in Asia-PacificIn the Asia-Pacific region, 5G technology has been rapidly expanding in recent years. In 2022, South Korea emerged as the region’s leader, with a reach score of 6.6 out of ten. However, some countries, such as Pakistan and Indonesia, still face challenges in terms of internet access. For instance, that same year, Indonesia's reach score for 5G technology was only 0.4 out of ten, indicating that users have access to 5G in fewer than one-twentieth of locations. Despite these gaps, social media, e-commerce, and digital media are thriving in the region.

于2023年，亚太地区移动互联网用户渗透率达到了51%，相较于2018年的49%有所上升。预计到2030年，移动互联网用户渗透率将增长至61%。近年来，亚太地区移动互联网的使用量显著增长，深刻改变了人们访问和互动于网络世界的方式。截至2022年，亚太地区的移动互联网用户数量达到约12.9亿，与2015年该地区略超过7亿的移动互联网用户数量相比，实现了显著增长。这一增长可归因于多个因素，其中包括智能手机的广泛应用。根据2022年的调查，菲律宾的移动互联网平均使用时间为每天五小时，而在日本，平均使用时间约为1.5小时。移动互联网用户数量的增加对商业具有重大影响，因为它影响着消费者的行为，刺激了电子商务的增长，并加速了亚太地区各行业的数字化转型。在亚太地区，5G技术近年来发展迅速。2022年，韩国成为该地区的领导者，其覆盖分数为6.6分（满分10分）。然而，一些国家，如巴基斯坦和印度尼西亚，在互联网接入方面仍面临挑战。例如，同年，印度尼西亚的5G技术覆盖分数仅为0.4分（满分10分），这意味着用户仅在不到五分之一的地点能够访问5G。尽管存在这些差距，但社交媒体、电子商务和数字媒体在该地区仍然蓬勃发展。
