INDIA Internet Much of India’s landmass is rural and “untouched by modern infrastructure” making it difficult to extend internet access to the population. Indeed, eMarketer estimates that just 5.8% of households would have a fixed connection in 2013. While penetration appears low at only 13% of the population, that small number is extremely significant considering India has the second largest population in the world – bring it’s internet users to a estimated 161 million users. A large number compared to other countries.

13.2% of population are internet users, equaling approximately 161 million internet users. Fixed lines have fallen 21% since 2007 while mobile connections are on the rise – increasing 270%.
Larger penetration rates may be only a matter of time as the government sets goals of extending service to rural areas. 5.8% of households have a fixed broadband connection.

INDIA Internet India’s internet users are strongly skewed toward young males - 61% were male, and three-quarters were ages 15 to 34; just 9% were 45 or older. However, these numbers may be influenced by the fact that a majority of users access the Internet from Cybercafes rather than home, and private access demographics that are available may be skewed towards those that can afford it.

INDIA Social The United States is the only country that has more Facebook users than India, and it has the largest number of Facebook users of any developing country in the world. One major catalyst has been the growing number of mobile and smartphone connections, especially in rural areas, that has made Facebook accessible to a larger audience.

INDIA Mobile 43% of the population may seem small, but considering India’s population size and the fact that its Internet penetration was only 13.2%, this is a significant number. In fact, more of the population has access to a smartphone than to the Internet from a desktop – the accessibility of mobile technology has helped bridge the divide in India that the country’s landmass has created.

INDIA Ecommerce Due to more secure options of payment such as Cash on Delivery, consumers in India are gaining trust in online purchasing.
