Five waves of the GlobalWebIndex research project has revealed for the first time the true picture of internet evolution
globally. Two structural trends are influencing consumers worldwide and are the key drivers behind behavioural trends that
are not only occurring globally but diverge from one another at the local level.

13. The Result is the Emergence of Localised Internets with Differing Priorities
To understand global differentiation, we have mapped e-
commerce adoption versus an aggregate of social media
adoption, incorporating social networking, blogging, micro-
blogging, video uploads and forum participation. This creates 4
segments:
Social Commerce Stars: Brazil, China and Turkey are
massively socially engaged and large enough to develop the
infrastructure and mass demand for online retail. Much of this is
direct social commerce platforms e.g Taobao in China or
Mercado Libre in Brazil
Socially Engaged: Many fast growing emerging internet
markets have adopted global social media platforms, which are
localised but generally US originated. There hasn’t yet been the
investment in mass e-commerce infrastructure. This could be
down to a lack of real world infrastructure, small economies of
scale and cash-driven economies.
Laggards: Developed internet markets that lack the critical
mass to implement e-commerce, either due to geographic size
(Canada / Australia) or small population (Hong Kong) or
dominance of traditional retail markets (Spain and Italy). While
social media can still be significant in these markets, it tends to
be one dimensional, i.e everyone is utilising social networks, but
not blogs or uploading video etc.
Commerce Engaged: Developed internet markets such as
Germany and the UK have the e-commerce investment and
market push, plus the legacy consumer behaviour from the Web
1.0 boom. However, social media adoption is more passive and Purchase a product online in the past month versus an aggregate score of Manage a
