        Global ‘Digital Life’ research project reveals major
                         changes in online behaviour


•   New website showcases data from largest ever online research project covering 46 countries
    and 90% of world’s online population

•   Launched on ‘digital day’, first survey reveals major differences in online attitudes and
    behaviour:

    -    Online is now the media of choice

    -    Mature markets being left behind online as emerging markets become more active

    -    Increase in mobile use as consumers seek greater access to social networking on the go


London – 10/10/10 – The largest ever global research project into people’s online activities
and behaviour - Digital Life - was launched today, ‘digital day’ by TNS, the world’s biggest
custom research company. Covering nearly 90 per cent of the world’s online population through
50,000 interviews with consumers in 46 countries, the study reveals major changes in the world’s
online behaviour.


Core data from the study is being made publicly available via an interactive website -
www.discoverdigitallife.com


“This study covers more than twice as many markets as any other research.” said TNS Chief
Development Officer Matthew Froggatt. “It is the first truly global research into online activities,
including all the key emerging markets of the BRICs and many of the ‘Next 11’. We have also
researched beyond basic behaviour to provide more detailed data into attitudes and emotional
drivers of that behaviour.”


“We are confident that Digital Life will become the new benchmark for information on online
consumer behaviour,” continued Froggatt.        “Making a lot of this publicly available was an
important first step for us and obviously we have a wealth of further information behind those
basic statistics covering the wider digital landscape, attitudes to brands and the path to

purchase which we will offer to clients.”


                                                                                         Page 1 of 4
Among the key findings of the study are:


-   Globally, people who have on-line access have digital sources as their number one
    media channel. 61% of online users use the internet daily against 54% for TV, 36% for
    Radio and 32% for Newspapers.


-   Online consumers in rapid growth markets have overtaken mature markets in terms of
    engaging with digital activities. When looking at behaviour online, rapid growth markets
    such as Egypt (56%) and China (54%) have much higher levels of digital engagement than
    mature markets such as Japan (20%), Denmark (25%) or Finland (26%). This is despite
    mature markets usually having a more advanced internet infrastructure.


-   Activities such as blogging and social networking are gaining momentum at huge
    speed in rapid growth markets. The research shows four out of five online users in China
    (88%) and over half of those in Brazil (51%) have written their own blog or forum entry,
    compared to only 32% in the US. The Internet has also become the default option for photo
    sharing among online users in rapid growth markets, particularly in Asia. The number of
    online consumers who have ever uploaded photos to social networks or photo sharing sites
    is 92% in Thailand, 88% in Malaysia and 87% in Vietnam, whilst developed markets are
    more conservative. Less than a third of online consumers in Japan (28%) and under half of
    those in Germany (48%) have uploaded photos to such sites.


-   Growth in social networking has been fuelled by the transition from PC to mobile.
    Mobile users spend on average 3.1 hours per week on social networking sites compared to
    just 2.2 hours on email. The drive to mobile is driven by the increased need for instant
    gratification and the ability of social networks to offer multiple messaging formats, including
    the instant message or update function. When looking at how the digital landscape will
    change in the future, research shows that consumers expect their use of social networking
    on mobiles to increase more than use through PC. In the US, for example, a quarter (26%)
    of online consumers expect their use of social networking on a PC to increase in the next 12
    months compared to over a third (36%) who will be looking to their mobile to increase usage.
    In Australia the figures are 26% and 44% respectively, and in Sweden they are 28% and
    53%.

Goodbye email, hello social networking


One further finding of the study showed that online consumers are, on average, spending more
time on social networking sites such as Facebook and LinkedIn than on email, despite the former
only becoming mainstream in many markets over the last few years. In rapid growth markets
such as Latin America, the Middle East and China, the average time spent, per week, on social
networking is 5.2 hours compared to only 4 hours on email. Online consumers in mature markets



                                                                                       Page 2 of 4
remain more reliant on email, spending 5.1 hours checking their inboxes compared to just 3.8
hours on social networking. The heaviest users of social networking are in Malaysia (9 hours per
week), Russia (8.1 hours per week) and Turkey (7.7 hours per week).


When it comes to who has more friends, online consumers in Malaysia top the list with an
average of 233 friends in their social network, closely followed by Brazilians with 231. The least
social are the Japanese with just 29 friends and Tanzanians have, on average, 38 in their circle
of friends. Surprisingly, Chinese consumers only have an average of 68 friends in their networks
despite being heavy users of social networking sites, indicating a culture that embraces fewer but
closer friendships.

Froggatt continued: “The Internet is a huge part of life in the 21st century but how it affects our
lives varies depending upon where in the world you live. We’ve seen that in mature markets
where people have been online for years and where access is ubiquitous, the Internet has
already become a commoditised item that consumers take for granted. However, in rapid growth
markets that have seen recent, sustained investment in infrastructure, users are embracing these
new channels in much more active ways. The digital world is transforming how they live, develop
and interact and online consumers in these markets are leaving those in the developed world
behind in terms of being active online and engaging in new forms of communications.”

Tns global digital life press release_OCT10 (TNS)

  • 1. Press information Global ‘Digital Life’ research project reveals major changes in online behaviour • New website showcases data from largest ever online research project covering 46 countries and 90% of world’s online population • Launched on ‘digital day’, first survey reveals major differences in online attitudes and behaviour: - Online is now the media of choice - Mature markets being left behind online as emerging markets become more active - Increase in mobile use as consumers seek greater access to social networking on the go London – 10/10/10 – The largest ever global research project into people’s online activities and behaviour - Digital Life - was launched today, ‘digital day’ by TNS, the world’s biggest custom research company. Covering nearly 90 per cent of the world’s online population through 50,000 interviews with consumers in 46 countries, the study reveals major changes in the world’s online behaviour. Core data from the study is being made publicly available via an interactive website - www.discoverdigitallife.com “This study covers more than twice as many markets as any other research.” said TNS Chief Development Officer Matthew Froggatt. “It is the first truly global research into online activities, including all the key emerging markets of the BRICs and many of the ‘Next 11’. We have also researched beyond basic behaviour to provide more detailed data into attitudes and emotional drivers of that behaviour.” “We are confident that Digital Life will become the new benchmark for information on online consumer behaviour,” continued Froggatt. “Making a lot of this publicly available was an important first step for us and obviously we have a wealth of further information behind those basic statistics covering the wider digital landscape, attitudes to brands and the path to purchase which we will offer to clients.” Page 1 of 4
  • 2. Among the key findings of the study are: - Globally, people who have on-line access have digital sources as their number one media channel. 61% of online users use the internet daily against 54% for TV, 36% for Radio and 32% for Newspapers. - Online consumers in rapid growth markets have overtaken mature markets in terms of engaging with digital activities. When looking at behaviour online, rapid growth markets such as Egypt (56%) and China (54%) have much higher levels of digital engagement than mature markets such as Japan (20%), Denmark (25%) or Finland (26%). This is despite mature markets usually having a more advanced internet infrastructure. - Activities such as blogging and social networking are gaining momentum at huge speed in rapid growth markets. The research shows four out of five online users in China (88%) and over half of those in Brazil (51%) have written their own blog or forum entry, compared to only 32% in the US. The Internet has also become the default option for photo sharing among online users in rapid growth markets, particularly in Asia. The number of online consumers who have ever uploaded photos to social networks or photo sharing sites is 92% in Thailand, 88% in Malaysia and 87% in Vietnam, whilst developed markets are more conservative. Less than a third of online consumers in Japan (28%) and under half of those in Germany (48%) have uploaded photos to such sites. - Growth in social networking has been fuelled by the transition from PC to mobile. Mobile users spend on average 3.1 hours per week on social networking sites compared to just 2.2 hours on email. The drive to mobile is driven by the increased need for instant gratification and the ability of social networks to offer multiple messaging formats, including the instant message or update function. When looking at how the digital landscape will change in the future, research shows that consumers expect their use of social networking on mobiles to increase more than use through PC. In the US, for example, a quarter (26%) of online consumers expect their use of social networking on a PC to increase in the next 12 months compared to over a third (36%) who will be looking to their mobile to increase usage. In Australia the figures are 26% and 44% respectively, and in Sweden they are 28% and 53%. Goodbye email, hello social networking One further finding of the study showed that online consumers are, on average, spending more time on social networking sites such as Facebook and LinkedIn than on email, despite the former only becoming mainstream in many markets over the last few years. In rapid growth markets such as Latin America, the Middle East and China, the average time spent, per week, on social networking is 5.2 hours compared to only 4 hours on email. Online consumers in mature markets Page 2 of 4

The heaviest users of social networking are in Malaysia (9 hours per week), Russia (8.1 hours per week) and Turkey (7.7 hours per week). When it comes to who has more friends, online consumers in Malaysia top the list with an average of 233 friends in their social network, closely followed by Brazilians with 231. The least social are the Japanese with just 29 friends and Tanzanians have, on average, 38 in their circle of friends. Surprisingly, Chinese consumers only have an average of 68 friends in their networks despite being heavy users of social networking sites, indicating a culture that embraces fewer but closer friendships.

We’ve seen that in mature markets where people have been online for years and where access is ubiquitous, the Internet has already become a commoditised item that consumers take for granted. However, in rapid growth markets that have seen recent, sustained investment in infrastructure, users are embracing these new channels in much more active ways. The digital world is transforming how they live, develop and interact and online consumers in these markets are leaving those in the developed world behind in terms of being active online and engaging in new forms of communications.” - ends - For further information please contact: Asia Pacific enquiries: James Fergusson, +65 9782 0912 James.Fergusson@tnsglobal.com Jonathan Sinton, TNS Australia, +61 (0)2 9563 4200 jonathan.sinton@tnsglobal.com Europe, Middle East & Africa enquiries: Laura Chatterton, TNS UK + 44 7958613035 Laura.chatterton@tns-ri.co.uk United States enquiries: Stephen Shivley, TNS USA, + 1 914 263 6490 Stephen.shively@tnsglobal.com Latin America enquiries: Juan Londoño, TNS Latin America, +55 11 9437-9052 juan.londono@tnsglobal.com Ana Valdespino, TNS Mexico, +(521) 5513331898 ana.valdespino@tnsglobal.com Page 3 of 4
