Internet Usage in Asia

■ Users in Hong Kong, Singapore, and

Vietnam spend the most time online

■ Countries with high broadband availability

and penetration are more likely to have

heavier internet usage

■ As broadband becomes more widely

available in the region, usage will also

increase

■ 3G USB Modems are making headway into

many Asian markets and increasing

broadband penetration

■ Currently, however, the region’s usage is

below the global average of 22.4 hours per

user in August 2009

■ Though they are all based in the United

States, the Top 15 Global properties

source the majority of their audience

from outside the U.S. However, the top

global sites’ appeal to the Asian Pacific

audience is below average

■ Global sites’ ability to develop or acquire

local channels is important to

international growth, but is crucial in this

region

■ Tencent, Inc., the parent property of the

very popular Instant Messenger

application QQ, is the first Asian

property to break into the Top 15.

However, almost all of its traffic comes

from Asia, particularly from mainland

China.

■ Language considerations gave local

Social Networks in certain countries an

early-mover advantage

■ Switching costs for Social Networking

users are relatively high, and the nature

of user recruitment (“friending”) lets

these sites maintain concentrated

strongholds

■ Elsewhere, translation efforts by

Facebook have allowed it to enter non-

English-speaking Asian markets, and to

overtake Friendster, which initially had a

strong presence in Southeast Asia

Comparison Shopping% Reach

■ Visiting to Retail sites is strongest in Japan and South Korea

■ E Commerce still certainly in its infancy in countries like Malaysia, Indonesia, and India;

■ Consumers visit retail/product sites and comparison shop online even when they are not

yet confident of the security of online transactions, or would otherwise prefer to make

their actual purchases offline

Summary of Key Findings

Asia Pacific is the dominant regional audience and will be critical in the global

Internet competition

Web penetration will continue to increase in emerging markets within Asia, and

even in markets where web usage is well-established, increased broadband

adoption will drive additional consumption

Though Yahoo!, Google, MSN and other U.S. brands currently lead the Top

Property rankings in this region, there are a host of local sites that are already

carving out regional niches, and are poised to take market share

Internet usage is distinct by market

– High broadband penetration drives increased Entertainment usage in Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore

– Social Networks in China, India, Korea, and Japan are holding Facebook off – for now. Elsewhere,

Facebook has overtaken Friendster and MySpace to be the dominant SN in the region

– E-commerce and online shopping is still in its infancy in Asia

In this extremely diverse region, effective localization is critical: a strong global

brand is not sufficient for success. Language is important, but understanding and

catering to the online and offline culture is important as well
