The number of smartphone users in the U.S. is consistently growing and the connected user is turning to mobile more and more
frequently for everyday consumption. Global mobile data traffic is predicted to increase 26-fold between 2010 and 2015.
Smartphone and tablet revenues overtook traditional desktop and laptop revenues in 2013. At the same time, the amount of time
users are spending on mobile daily is increasing. Mobile commerce sales are reaching all-time highs, and now represent 12% of
total digital commerce, while mobile traffic represent about 40% for major eCommerce retailers such as Amazon, eBay, Apple, and
Walmart.

we’ve seen in the sector include:
• Average mobile (plus tablet) timespend now equal to desktop
• Mobile is no longer just a just for gaming. Growing number of use cases and apps hitting mass adoption— utilities, productivity,
The evolution of mobile as the next computing platform is just beginning to take shape, bringing new billion market opportunities to
the digital media ecosystem. We believe it is still early in this evolution and expect to see new technologies and innovative
applications to fuel continued growth over the next five years
We hope you enjoy this overview and our perspectives. Please call us to discuss the content of this report.
