A GLOBAL SNAPSHOT

The Next Media Powerhouse
When the first call was placed on a handheld mobile phone in 1973, the
prototype device used was capable of less than 30 minutes of battery life
and took 10 hours to re-charge. Fast-forward some 40 years later and
mobile device ownership has reached critical mass around the world.
Today, these devices serve as the primary communications and media
vehicles for many and play an increasingly important role in the daily
lives of consumers in both developed and high-growth economies.
To better understand today’s mobile world, we’ve selected data from the
following countries – Australia, Brazil, China, India, Italy, South Korea,
Russia, Turkey, the United Kingdom, and the United States – for an indepth look at mobile consumers and how they use their devices around
the globe.

Device Penetration and User Demographics

Mobile Video

Smartphone owners may be the majority of mobile users in countries
like the U.S. and U.K., but the trusty feature phone (devices with no
touchscreen or QWERTY keypad that operate without an advanced
operating system) continues to be the mobile device of choice in places
like India, Brazil and Russia where the network infrastructure required
for smartphones and next generation mobile devices has yet to appear
outside of large, urban centers. In general, younger consumers around
the globe are more likely to embrace smartphone devices. It can be
expected that their interest will help drive smartphone adoption as they
age and make up a greater percentage of the consumer base.

A clear global preference for how to view mobile video content has yet
to emerge. Mobile web and apps are the most likely choices for most
smartphone users, with downloading video clips seeming to be a less
popular method for most.

The increased functionality smartphones offer also means increased
data and bandwidth usage, which comes at a price. While consumers in
countries with higher smartphone ownership, like South Korea, the U.K.
and the U.S. seem resigned to pay a fixed price for an unlimited or tiered
data plan, consumers in countries with fewer smartphone owners and
less of the 3G or 4G infrastructure in place are more likely to rely on payas-you-go data options or use WiFi.

Consumer Smartphone Habits
Around the World
With operating systems and device capabilities that provide consumers
more access to content and multimedia features, smartphones are
transforming mobile habits in markets around the world. Games and
social networking apps are generally the most popular across the
countries selected.

While generally not considered a replacement for traditional TV viewing,
mobile video is providing consumers with more opportunities to
engage with content at any time, anywhere. The majority of smartphone
consumers said they don’t feel as though mobile video viewing has any
impact on their normal TV habits. The greatest impact of mobile viewing
appears to be in high-growth economies. For example, roughly one-third
of Chinese smartphone users surveyed online said they have increased
their traditional TV viewing habits, while 28 percent of Indian users
believe they watch less traditional TV because of mobile viewing.

Mobile Advertising
With the dramatic growth in mobile usage around the world, content
providers and other publishers are increasingly seeking out new ways to
create value for their content, and brands and advertisers are looking for
more opportunities to get their messages in front of the right audience.
In all countries except India, smartphone owners are most likely to
receive mobile ads about once a day. Indian smartphone owners receive
mobile ads less frequently, with 70 percent seeing them about once a
week or less. In general, smartphone owners in developed markets are
the least likely to engage with mobile ads, while smartphone owners in
high-growth economies are more likely to engage.

About this Report

Mobile Shopping
Mobile shopping via smartphone is still in its infancy in many countries
around the world. Among the countries selected for this report, mobile
wallet or NFC usage is still gaining traction with consumers; only
the U.S. had a majority of smartphone users who use a shopping or
retail app at least once a month. But smartphone users in a variety of
countries are using their mobile devices to browse, if not purchase,
products, conduct price comparisons and read product reviews.

Nielsen’s 2013 Mobile Consumer Report pulls together findings from
surveys, custom and syndicated research conducted around the world
in 2012. Data collection methodologies and geographic representations
vary by country. Countries where data collection was conducted in
person or on the phone include India and Turkey. For Brazil, data
collection was conducted online, except for mobile and smartphone
penetration figures which were collected by phone.
The following pages contain a snapshot of the differences and
similarities among mobile consumers around the world and offer a
glimpse of the early demographic and behavior trends associated
with new mobile devices in emerging markets. Representing just
some of Nielsen’s mobile capabilities, these insights provide a better
understanding of both the challenges and opportunities that exist as the
mobile landscape continues to evolve.

Mobile devices have reached critical mass, with a majority of
consumers in both developed and high-growth economies now
owning a mobile phone as of the first half of 2012. Even so, there
are still notable differences in the types of mobile devices owned.
For example, in China and India—the largest of the high-growth
markets—consumers are at opposite ends of the mobile ownership
spectrum: two-thirds of Chinese mobile subscribers surveyed online
own a smartphone, compared to only 10 percent in India where feature
phones are the overwhelming majority (80 percent penetration).
South Korea, home to popular phone manufacturer Samsung, leads
in both overall mobile ownership (99 percent) and smartphone
ownership (67 percent). Among developed markets, smartphone
ownership is lowest in the U.S. based on data collected during the first
two quarters of 2012, but has steadily increased over the last few years,
reaching 61 percent by December 2012. Brazilian and Turkish mobile
subscribers are the most likely to own multimedia phones, which have
similar capabilities as smartphones, but without an advanced level
operating system, such as Android or iOS.

There are differences in the device penetration rates between men and
women among all countries, with China and Brazil showing the largest
gender divide among smartphone owners (17 and 16 percentage points,
respectively, skewing male). In general, smartphone owners globally
tend to skew male (except for Australia) and feature phone owners tend
to skew female.
Younger users are more likely to own a smartphone and older users are
more likely to own a feature phone, which makes sense since feature
phones are more established in the marketplace. Though there are some
exceptions – in Italy consumers have higher smartphone ownership
among users ages 35-64, whereas in India feature phones have far more
penetration than smartphones across all age segments – the broader
trend suggests that smartphone adoption will likely continue to rise as
younger consumers age.

The cost of a data plan can be a major factor when choosing both a
mobile provider and the device itself. Smartphones, with added features
and functionality, often require more data. In some countries, like India
and Russia where the median smartphone bill is significantly higher than
that of all mobile users and feature phones have a higher penetration,
consumers are opting for more flexible, less expensive options, such as
“pay-as-you-go” data pricing, or taking advantage of WiFi connectivity.

Consumers around the world are collectively embracing mobile devices
and the criteria they use to determine which device to buy vary from
country to country. Getting good value for the money spent on a device
matters more to consumers responsible for purchase decisions in the
U.S., U.K., Italy and China. Russian consumers say they care more about
“stylish design” when deciding which mobile device to purchase, while
Chinese consumers are more concerned with having a wide choice of
applications to use on their device.

Apps continue to increase in popularity. Chinese and American
smartphone owners are the heaviest app users overall, with games being
the most used type of app in more than half of the selected countries
(China, Australia, Italy and Brazil). Social networking app usage is
strongest in the U.S., with 85 percent of American smartphone owners
as regular users. Smartphone owners in India and Turkey are the least
likely to regularly use all categories of apps, but the most popular tend
to be more entertainment driven, like social networking and games.

HOW DOES

VIDEO IMPACT
TV VIEWING?
While mobile video viewing is not considered a replacement for other
TV viewing, it does provide consumers around the world with more
opportunities to view content, regardless of their location. The majority
of smartphone owners surveyed in all selected countries say their
viewing habits have been unaffected by mobile video usage and they
still watch the same amount of traditional TV. Smartphone owners in
high-growth economies reported the most drastic impact: nearly a third
of Chinese smartphone owners surveyed say they now watch more
traditional TV, while 28 percent of smartphone users in India say they
felt their traditional TV viewing decreased.

With the dramatic growth in mobile usage around the world, content
providers and publishers are increasingly seeking out new ways to
create value for their content, and brands and advertisers are looking for
more opportunities to get their messages in front of the right audience.
Smartphone owners in India and Turkey are the least likely to receive or
see any ads on their device. With the exception of the U.S., in developed
markets, smartphone owners are most likely to receive mobile ads via
apps. Russian smartphone owners are the most likely to use their phone
for texting (95 percent), so it’s no surprise that text messages are the
most common method for receiving mobile ads. Chinese smartphone
owners say they receive the most mobile ads, topping all countries in
ads received via online games, mobile video/TV, streaming radio and
location-based services.

likely to engage with mobile ads, while smartphone owners in highgrowth economies are more likely. For instance, Indian smartphone
owners are among the least likely to receive ads on their smartphone,
but don’t seem to mind the ones they do see and are the most likely
among smartphone users in all countries to engage with ads. Indian
smartphone owners are also more likely to be comfortable providing
some kind of personal information if it means being served an ad that

Nielsen global mobile report

  • 2. M obile The Next Media Powerhouse When the first call was placed on a handheld mobile phone in 1973, the prototype device used was capable of less than 30 minutes of battery life and took 10 hours to re-charge. Fast-forward some 40 years later and mobile device ownership has reached critical mass around the world. Today, these devices serve as the primary communications and media vehicles for many and play an increasingly important role in the daily lives of consumers in both developed and high-growth economies. To better understand today’s mobile world, we’ve selected data from the following countries – Australia, Brazil, China, India, Italy, South Korea, Russia, Turkey, the United Kingdom, and the United States – for an indepth look at mobile consumers and how they use their devices around the globe. 2 The Mobile Consumer: A Global Snapshot The Mobile Consumer: A Global Snapshot 3
  • 3. Device Penetration and User Demographics Mobile Video Smartphone owners may be the majority of mobile users in countries like the U.S. and U.K., but the trusty feature phone (devices with no touchscreen or QWERTY keypad that operate without an advanced operating system) continues to be the mobile device of choice in places like India, Brazil and Russia where the network infrastructure required for smartphones and next generation mobile devices has yet to appear outside of large, urban centers. In general, younger consumers around the globe are more likely to embrace smartphone devices. It can be expected that their interest will help drive smartphone adoption as they age and make up a greater percentage of the consumer base. A clear global preference for how to view mobile video content has yet to emerge. Mobile web and apps are the most likely choices for most smartphone users, with downloading video clips seeming to be a less popular method for most. The increased functionality smartphones offer also means increased data and bandwidth usage, which comes at a price. While consumers in countries with higher smartphone ownership, like South Korea, the U.K. and the U.S. seem resigned to pay a fixed price for an unlimited or tiered data plan, consumers in countries with fewer smartphone owners and less of the 3G or 4G infrastructure in place are more likely to rely on payas-you-go data options or use WiFi. Consumer Smartphone Habits Around the World With operating systems and device capabilities that provide consumers more access to content and multimedia features, smartphones are transforming mobile habits in markets around the world. Games and social networking apps are generally the most popular across the countries selected. While generally not considered a replacement for traditional TV viewing, mobile video is providing consumers with more opportunities to engage with content at any time, anywhere. The majority of smartphone consumers said they don’t feel as though mobile video viewing has any impact on their normal TV habits. The greatest impact of mobile viewing appears to be in high-growth economies. For example, roughly one-third of Chinese smartphone users surveyed online said they have increased their traditional TV viewing habits, while 28 percent of Indian users believe they watch less traditional TV because of mobile viewing. Mobile Advertising With the dramatic growth in mobile usage around the world, content providers and other publishers are increasingly seeking out new ways to create value for their content, and brands and advertisers are looking for more opportunities to get their messages in front of the right audience. In all countries except India, smartphone owners are most likely to receive mobile ads about once a day. Indian smartphone owners receive mobile ads less frequently, with 70 percent seeing them about once a week or less. In general, smartphone owners in developed markets are the least likely to engage with mobile ads, while smartphone owners in high-growth economies are more likely to engage. About this Report Mobile Shopping Mobile shopping via smartphone is still in its infancy in many countries around the world. Among the countries selected for this report, mobile wallet or NFC usage is still gaining traction with consumers; only the U.S. had a majority of smartphone users who use a shopping or retail app at least once a month. But smartphone users in a variety of countries are using their mobile devices to browse, if not purchase, products, conduct price comparisons and read product reviews. Nielsen’s 2013 Mobile Consumer Report pulls together findings from surveys, custom and syndicated research conducted around the world in 2012. Data collection methodologies and geographic representations vary by country. Countries where data collection was conducted in person or on the phone include India and Turkey. For Brazil, data collection was conducted online, except for mobile and smartphone penetration figures which were collected by phone. The following pages contain a snapshot of the differences and similarities among mobile consumers around the world and offer a glimpse of the early demographic and behavior trends associated with new mobile devices in emerging markets. Representing just some of Nielsen’s mobile capabilities, these insights provide a better understanding of both the challenges and opportunities that exist as the mobile landscape continues to evolve. 4 Copyright © 2013 The Nielsen Company The Mobile Consumer: A Global Snapshot 5
  • 4. How many of us use a mobile phone? Among Consumers Ages 16+ WHO, WHAT, & WHERE? 86% - AUS TRA LIA 84% - BR AZIL 89% - CH INA 81% - IND IA 97% - ITA LY 98% - R USS 99% - SO IA UT H 97% K UN ITE OR 94% D UN K ITE M EA GDO S IN TATE S D Mobile devices have reached critical mass, with a majority of consumers in both developed and high-growth economies now owning a mobile phone as of the first half of 2012. Even so, there are still notable differences in the types of mobile devices owned. For example, in China and India—the largest of the high-growth markets—consumers are at opposite ends of the mobile ownership spectrum: two-thirds of Chinese mobile subscribers surveyed online own a smartphone, compared to only 10 percent in India where feature phones are the overwhelming majority (80 percent penetration). South Korea, home to popular phone manufacturer Samsung, leads in both overall mobile ownership (99 percent) and smartphone ownership (67 percent). Among developed markets, smartphone ownership is lowest in the U.S. based on data collected during the first two quarters of 2012, but has steadily increased over the last few years, reaching 61 percent by December 2012. Brazilian and Turkish mobile subscribers are the most likely to own multimedia phones, which have similar capabilities as smartphones, but without an advanced level operating system, such as Android or iOS.

  • 6. FEATURE PHONE 34% 33% 29% 28% 44% There are differences in the device penetration rates between men and women among all countries, with China and Brazil showing the largest gender divide among smartphone owners (17 and 16 percentage points, respectively, skewing male). In general, smartphone owners globally tend to skew male (except for Australia) and feature phone owners tend to skew female. Younger users are more likely to own a smartphone and older users are more likely to own a feature phone, which makes sense since feature phones are more established in the marketplace. Though there are some exceptions – in Italy consumers have higher smartphone ownership among users ages 35-64, whereas in India feature phones have far more penetration than smartphones across all age segments – the broader trend suggests that smartphone adoption will likely continue to rise as younger consumers age.
