MOBILE-BROADBAND UPTAKE CONTINUES TO GROW AT DOUBLE-DIGIT RATES
The number of mobile-broadband subscriptions reaches 2.3 billion, with 55% of them in developing countries
Active mobile-broadband subscriptions per 100 inhabitants, 2007-2014*
Globally, mobile-broadband penetration will reach 32% by end 2014 – almost double the penetration rate just three years earlier (2011) and four times as high as five years earlier (2009).
In developed countries, mobile-broadband penetration will reach 84%, a level four times as high as in developing countries (21%).
Mobile broadband remains the fastest growing market segment, with continuous double-digit growth rates in 2014. Mobile broadband is growing fastest in developing countries, where 2013/2014 growth rates are expected to be twice as high as in developed countries (26% compared with 11.5%).
By end 2014, the number of mobile-broadband subscriptions will reach 2.3 billion globally, almost 5 times as many as just six years earlier (in 2008).

AFRICA LEADS IN MOBILE-BROADBAND GROWTHMobile-broadband penetration in Africa reaches close to 20% in 2014, up from 2% in 2010
Share of active mobile-broadband subscriptions, by level of development (2008, 2011, 2014*)
By end 2014, 55% of all mobile-broadband subscriptions are expected to be in the developing world, compared with only 20% in 2008.
Active mobile-broadband subscriptions by region, 2014* and growth rates, 2011-2014*
Mobile-broadband penetration levels are highest in Europe (64%) and the Americas (59%), followed by the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) (49%), the Arab States (25%), Asia-Pacific (23%) and Africa (19%).
The Americas region, with the second highest penetration levels, will be home to more than half a billion mobile-broadband subscriptions by end 2014, and the growth rate will remain above 15%.
Although by the end of 2014 Asia-Pacific will be home to close to 1 billion mobile-broadband subscriptions, the region’s penetration rate lags behind other regions, including the Arab States and CIS.
All regions continue to show double-digit growth rates but Africa stands out with a growth rate of over 40% – twice as high as the global average. By end 2014, mobile-broadband penetration in Africa will have reached almost 20%, up from less than 2% four years earlier.

ALMOST 7 BILLION MOBILE-CELLULAR SUBSCRIPTIONS WORLDWIDEThe developing countries are home to more than three quarters of all mobile-cellular subscriptions
Mobile-cellular subscriptions, total and per 100 inhabitants, 2005-2014*, and by region, 2014*
The number of mobile-cellular subscriptions worldwide is approaching the number of people on earth. Mobile-cellular subscriptions will reach almost 7 billion by end 2014, corresponding to a penetration rate of 96%. More than half of these (3.6 billion subscriptions) will be in the Asia-Pacific region.
In developing countries, mobile-cellular penetration will reach 90% by end 2014, compared with 121% in developed countries.
Mobile-cellular growth rates have reached their lowest-ever level (of 2.6% globally), indicating that the market is approaching saturation levels. The continuous increase in mobile-cellular subscriptions is mostly due to growth in the developing world: penetration in developing countries continues to grow twice as much as in developed countries (3.1% compared with 1.5%, respectively, in 2014).
Africa and Asia and the Pacific, where penetration will reach 69% and 89%, respectively, by end 2014, are the regions with the strongest mobile-cellular growth (and the lowest penetration rates). Penetration rates in the CIS countries, Arab States, the Americas and Europe have reached levels above 100% (since 2012) and are expected to grow at less than 2% in 2014.
Share of mobile-cellular subscriptions, by level of development (2000, 2005, 2014*)
The developing countries’ share continues to increase and by end 2014, the number of mobile-cellular subscriptions in the developing world will account for 78% (or more than three-quarters) of the world’s total.

FIXED-BROADBAND GROWTH SLOWING DOWN IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES44% of all fixed-broadband subscriptions are in Asia-Pacific,compared with only 0.5% in Africa
Fixed (wired)-broadband subscriptions per 100 inhabitants, 2005-2014*
Fixed-broadband penetration continues to grow, albeit slowly (at 4.4% globally in 2014), mostly due to a slowdown in developing countries, where fixed-broadband penetration growth rates are expected to drop from 18% in 2011 to 6% in 2014. In developed countries, fixed-broadband penetration will grow at around 3.5% in 2014 compared with 4.8% in 2011.
In 2013, the number of fixed-broadband subscriptions in developing countries overtook the number in developed countries; a trend that is expected to continue, given the higher growth rates in developing countries compared with developed countries.
Fixed (wired)-broadband subscriptions per 100 inhabitants, by region, 2014*
44% of all fixed-broadband subscriptions are in Asia-Pacific, and 24% are in Europe. In contrast, Africa accounts for less than 0.5% of the world’s fixed-broadband subscriptions and despite double-digit growth over the last four years, penetration in Africa remains very low, at 0.4% by end 2014.
Africa, the Arab States, and CIS are the only regions with double-digit fixed-broadband penetration growth rates. The Americas region stands out with the lowest growth in fixed broadband, estimated at 2.5% and reaching a penetration rate of around 17% by the end of 2014.
Europe’s fixed-broadband penetration is much higher compared with other regions and almost three times as high as the global average (28% compared with 10%).

Note: * EstimateSource: ITU World Telecommunication/ICT Indicators database
In Africa, almost 20% of the population will be online by end 2014, up from 10% in 2010.
In the Americas, close to two out of three people will be using the Internet by end 2014, the second highest penetration rate after Europe.
Europe’s Internet penetration will be reaching 75% (or three out of four people) by end 2014, the highest worldwide.
One third of the population in Asia-Pacific will be online by end 2014 and around 45% of the world’s Internet users will be from the Asia-Pacific region.
Internet user penetration has reached 40% glo-bally, 78% in developed countries and 32% in developing countries. 2014 growth rates in developed countries remain at a relatively low, at 3.3% compared with 8.7% in developing countries.
Globally, there are 4 billion people not yet using the Internet and more than 90% of them are from the developing world.

By end 2014, the number of Internet users glo-bally will have reached almost 3 billion. Two-thirds of the world’s Internet users are from the developing world.
In developing countries, the number of Internet users will have doubled in 5 years, from 974 million in 2009 to 1.9 billion in 2014.

44% OF HOUSEHOLDS HAVE INTERNET ACCESS AT HOMEIn Africa, only one out of ten households is connected
Percentage of households with Internet access, by level of development, 2005-2014*
By end 2014, 44% of the world’s households will have Internet access at home. Close to one third (31%) of households in developing countries will be connected to the Internet, compared with 78% in developed countries.
2013/14 growth rates in the developing world will be more than three times as high as those in the developed world (12.5% growth compared with 4%). Household Internet access is approaching saturation levels in developed countries.
The number of households with Internet access in developing countries surpassed those in developed countries in 2013, and doubled between 2010 and 2014.
Percentage of households with Internet access, by region, 2014*
By end 2014, more than one out of two households in the CIS will be connected to the Internet. In Africa, only about one out of ten households will be connected to the Internet. However, household Internet access in Africa continues to grow at double-digit rates (at 18% in 2014, more than twice the growth of the world average).
