Mobile browsing
Tablet versus smartphone growthIn just three years, tablets have overtaken smartphones in the amount of traffic they drive.
The findings:• Globally, websites are getting more traffic from tablets
than smartphones.• Internet users view 70% more pages per visit when
browsing on a tablet vs. a smartphone.
The opportunity:While tablet and smartphone consumers are both mobile users, they behave very differently. Tablet users actually behave more like PC users in the way theybrowse and engage.

Mobile browsing
Traffic share by countryConsumers all over the world are trying tablets for the first time. Internet users in western countries have adopted tablets rapidly, while their counterparts in Asia prefer to browse via smartphone.
The findings:• Smartphone traffic is similar between the U.S. and the U.K.,
but tablet traffic is much higher in the U.K.• U.K. Internet surfers are more likely to browse through both a
tablet and smartphone than their German and French counterparts.• In Japan and China, smartphones remain the browsing device of choice.
The opportunity:Consumers use their various mobile devices differently. You need to optimize your site for both the smartphone and tablet experiences. TABLET SMARTPHONE

Mobile browsing
Traffic share by industryConsumers’ preferences for tablets versus smartphones vary depending on the type of site they’re visiting. When shopping on retail and e-commerce sites, users prefer tablets. Telecom and media sites tend to be frequented more often by smartphone users.
The findings:• Retail websites get the most tablet traffic followed by auto and
travel & hospitality sites.• Conversely, consumers prefer their smartphone when visiting
both telecom and media & entertainment sites.
The opportunity:As tablets get smaller and smartphones get bigger you’ll need to rely less on screen size and more on other cues like connection type (Wi-Fi vs. cellular) and referral source to determine the best web experience to offer.

Video on mobile devicesMobile video consumption is on the rise. By Q4 2012, mobile video starts—including both smartphones and tablets—have tripled year over year and currently account for over 10% of total digital video starts.
The findings:• Video starts on smartphones tripled year over year from 2011 to 2012.• Tablet video consumption slightly outpaced smartphones in
video starts.
The opportunity:The growing mobile audience provides incremental engagement and revenue opportunities for advertising.

Mobile shopping
Conversion by mobile device typeWhen shopping online, consumers use tablets like a PC to compare products and make the purchase. They use smart phones for quick references like price checks and finding store locations.
The findings:• Conversion rates on tablets are three times greater
than on smartphones.• Tablet conversion rates still don’t match those of PCs.
The opportunity:Differences in conversion rates point to the use cases shoppers have in mind when they choose to use a tablet or a smartphone. Retailers should not treat all mobile visits the same.
