Between 2005 and 2009, the global Internet population increased from fewer than 1 billion to more than 1.6 billion; by 2014, it is projected to grow by another 42%. The bulk of the population growth will come from Asia, which will represent 44% of the online population in 2014. A look at the shifting global online population reveals that the base of Internet users in North America and Western Europe will increase by only a few percentage points a year, while the equivalent growth rate in many developing markets will be 10% or more.
Although online population does not immediately correlate with online spending, international eBusinesses must understand the changing global online population numbers in order to understand the dynamics of the markets in which they currently operate and plan for international expansion going forward.
This teleconference looks at how the online population is shifting and which markets have proven most popular with US online retailers. It will also provide a set of criteria for evaluating new international markets and help eBusinesses determine which markets present the greatest opportunities for their products and services.
Agenda:
- The shifting global online population
- US online retailers' path abroad
- Criteria to determine which online markets present the greatest opportunities
