Statistics Show An Explosion Of Internet Users

Here are some interesting statistics regarding Internet user growth. The reason I'm posting these numbers is that it shows how a global concept like Gibline is poised for phenomenal growth.

Gibline is a global community where all types of business owners from around the world can gather to exchange ideas. It's basically a social site like MySpace or FaceBook, but for business minded people.

Now think about what this global community can mean for you, especially when you factor in that Gibline pays all its users a portion of the revenues.

Here are some statistics that show how the global growth of Internet users is exponentially going to explode over the next five years, and Gibline will be there to take full advantage of it.

Internet User Statistics

According to recent estimates there were 6.6 billion people in the world in 2007. Of that number, 1.15 billion, or 17.5%, were regular Internet users. By 2012, eMarketer projects that over 1.7 billion people worldwide (24.5%) will access the Internet at least once per month.

This year will see China overtake the United States as the most populous Internet nation in the world and the Asia-Pacific region will top 500 million Internet users.

By 2012, nearly 50% of the world’s Internet population will live in the Asia-Pacific region. The share of the world’s Internet users in Europe and North America will fall, though absolute numbers will continue to rise in both regions, as the share of users in Latin America and the Asia-Pacific region both grow.

The Netherlands and the Scandinavian countries lead the world in terms of Internet penetration, and reached something of a saturation point around 80% of the population in 2007.

Countries such as China, Russia, India, Brazil and Mexico are relatively immature Internet markets and will be the primary drivers for worldwide Internet user growth over the next five years.
