The revolution has begun
The Dark Lords

• There are over 2.4 billion Internet users in the world, of
which 1.5 billion access the Internet through their mobile
devices either as a primary or a supplementary device
• In less than 7 years, the number of smartphone users has
already crossed 1 billion as against 1.5 billion PC users
• Facebook has crossed a billion monthly active users, of
which over 819 million access it through a mobile device;
41% of Facebook’s revenues came from mobile in Q2
2013.

3. Explosion of all things Mobile

reach 2.2 billion by 2015
• Tablet sales are expected to grow at a rate of 33% from
118 million units in 2012 to 369 million units by 2016

• M-tailing (purchase of products through mobile devices)
has grown rapidly to reach 11% of total e-tailing in the
US in 2012, and is projected to reach 24% of overall etailing by 2016

4. What’s in it for Businesses ?
The growth of social media and the ability of mobile
devices to add location to the product mix is providing
opportunities for businesses to fundamentally alter
the way users engage socially or the manner in which
they purchase goods and services. This is leading to
the re-imagination of several business models.

smartphones to be shipped to India in 2016.

25-34 age group. Surveys such as Nielsen
indicate that the highest penetration for mobile
Internet is in the age group 15-24.
• The share of mobile Internet users in developed
countries is in the range of 20%-25% and much
higher in developing countries (China-38%,
South Africa-57%, Indonesia-44%) indicating
that mobile Internet is bridging a gap in these
markets

--music and videos
--news and e-books
(Activision Blizzard and
Electronic Arts)
(Apple, Sony, Comcast,
Walt Disney and Viacom),
(Amazon and News Corp).

11. App Stores
• Paid apps are driven by two types of revenue streams
–
(a) paid-only model, where the customer pays to
download the app from the app store
(b) “Freemium” model
• Indian Companies can focus on these app stores to
increase their brand awareness and customer base.

12. M-Commerce :: A new opportunity
Mobile commerce failed to impress until 2010 and constituted less than 3% of
e-commerce in most mature markets.
Mobile offers a differentiated value proposition against PC-Internet ecommerce models and that is “commerce on the go”.
Categories like ticketing, utility
payments, recharge and travel
are extremely well suited for
the mobile medium and have
been early ones off the blocks.
Mobile purchase of physical
products has been slower to
pick-up, but there are strong
use-cases emerging make it a
mainstream channel for
retailers.

ebay to increase customer retention, market penetration
and facilitate a customizable and friendly environment for
their mobile users.

monetization into the main body of user
messages/notifications on mobile (as
“sponsored stories”)

dominant position
On the mobile, additional barriers like Android- the mobile operating system
that is distributed free and usually comes with Google as the default search

more dominance of Google on the mobile search front, with estimates that
Google holds around 95% of the mobile search market.
Mobile search already accounts for around 27% of all searches for Google.
Google has been a leader in mobile monetization accounting for 54.5% of the
total mobile ad spends in the US.
