SOURCES:Internet World Stats, June 2013IW Köln, Faktor Google Studie (2011)IW Consult & Bitkom “ Wirtschaft digitalisiert” (2013)

Over the last ten years, the Web has become part of life for many people around the world.In fact 2.8 billion people are online today, that’s still only 39% of the global population. Looking forward to 2020 Eric Schmidt predicted that there will be 8 billion people connected - many of these via smartphone.

The technology is fuelling a revolution in how we all communicate, share, make decisions, andmake purchases. Research has shown that companies using the Web for sales and marketing aregrowing more than twice as fast as those not online. They also use the Web to reach a wider poolof customers – exporting twice the proportion of their “offline” competitors.

How can you take advantage of this major opportunity? Last year, we introduced the GlobalBusiness Map, which gave you an overview of market data from more than 40 countries. This year, we have picked ten of the most interesting markets for British exporters and go into even more detail: we have added new data and a seasonality calendar, which gives you insights into the most important bank holidays and events in each market.

You will find a wide range of information that is potentially transformational for your business.Every section starts with a breakdown of fundamental facts for each country, followed byinformation about search and display – including numbers about Web search or the advertisingmarket. After that, you will get an overview of mobile behaviour in that specific country, displayinghow many people own a mobile phone and what role the mobile Internet plays. In the sectionon social media, you will not only learn how many people are logged into social networks, butalso how much time they spend there each month.

There’s a multitude of market opportunities, and the Internet brings them to your door step – but of course, every country is unique. That’s why we give you a lot of country-specific details at a glance. Did you know, for example, that Italy has the highest Internet user growth in Europe?Or that by 2016 Sweden will account for 4.8 million digital buyers?

It’s time to reach new customers in new markets and make the Web work for you.
