Socialogue: Hello? Oh, Hi There. Just Let Me Finish This Purchase...
Making online purchases is commonplace on a computer. Now, smart/mobile phones are officially getting action as a purchase device, with more than one in four people (27%) saying they have recently ordered something through their smart/mobile phone. In APAC and BRIC countries, a considerably higher percentage (42%) say they have recently made a smart/mobile phone purchase. The practice has not taken hold as strongly in Europe, where only 18% say they have recently ordered online via their phones. And, the practice is even less popular among those between 50 and 64, among whom only 15% have shopped this way. Smart phones, though, are getting smarter. So, too, are their users. Therefore, these percentages are likely to climb.
More data and full technical details are available in the Detailed Tables document on the right.
