REPORT AUTHOR
community will spend a combined total
of more than 1.2 billion years using the
internet in 2019.
Social media continues to account for
the greatest share of that time, and the
average user spends more time on social
today than they did this time last year. The
number of social media users around the
world has increased by more than 280
million since January 2018, but there
have also been some user declines across
some of the worlds top social platforms.
To help you make sense of this changing
social landscape, weve included detailed
data by platform across all of our reports.
Mobile users grew by a more modest 100
million over the past year, but that slower
growth is perhaps to be expected, given
that two-thirds of the worlds population
already uses a mobile. However,
mobile has helped fuel strong growth
in e-commerce over the past year, with
m-commerce and mobile wallets playing
an increasingly important role in the lives
of people all across the globe.
This years reports also take a closer look
at some of the more recent additions to the
digital landscape, including the growing
use of voice control, and public adoption
of cryptocurrencies.
Best of all, were making this years full
collection of 5,000+ charts available for

data partners at the end of this report to

But with that, lets get stuck into the
numbers. Heres to another year of
impressive digital growth in 2019!
I say this in my introduction to our Global
Digital Reports every year, but the past
twelve months really have seen impressive
growth across all things digital. This years
collection of 230+ reports reveals some
striking new numbers in countries all across
the globe, with developing economies
showing some particularly strong growth.
The big story in this years data is the
accelerating growth in internet users. More
than 360 million people came online for
the first time during 2018, at an average
rate of more than 1 million new users each
day. 57 percent of the worlds population
is now connected to the internet, with
trends indicating that all of the original
Next Billion Users are now online.
Were spending significant amounts of
time online, too. The average internet user
now spends more than 6遜 hours online
each day, meaning that the worlds digital

Click here to identify new opportunities and compare your strategy to
other organizations with Hootsuites global study of 9,278 organizations.
From using Instagram to research products to chatting with customer support on messaging apps, social media has
become the heart of all digital customer touchpoints. We recommend that brands take action in three critical areas:
Cambridge Analytica and fake news
damaged consumer confidence in search
engines, businesses, and social channels
in 2018. To rebuild trust, brands must be
clear why they are collecting data and
use the data they do collect to create
personalized, one-to-one experiences
that offer new value to customers.
REBUILD TRUST WITH CONSUMERS
54% of organizations report that departments
beyond marketing are now using social media.
Marketing teams can increase their influence
by guiding this expansion and advancing their
organizations digital transformation. Begin by
establishing common KPIs with other departments,
using social to achieve broad business objectives
like brand health, revenue, and customer retention.
BREAK DOWN MARKETING SILOS
Today, the average internet user has accounts
on 8 different social and messaging services.
To meet the demands of these consumers,
organizations need to build a unified view of their
customers across every touchpoint. Tying together
data and working fluidly with other departments
is a tough task. But cracking this code offers a
giant leap ahead of your competitors in 2019.

Download our Think Forward report to dive into these trends and more.
The constant evolution of digital continues, with new
formats and platforms, enhanced by voice, AI and AR.
Voice based search has increased,
though interestingly more so in developing
economies than developed. Platforms
responding by developing features such
as Snapchat voice recognition lenses and
testing of voice commands for Facebook
Messenger and Facebook Portal.
EVOLUTION OF VOICE
Consumer-level AR creation tools are
gradually normalising this technology.
AR advertising in the newsfeed points to
a more immersive experience on social
platforms, but until there are truly social
features (allowing humans to interact) it
wont be core to the experience.
IMMERSIVE SOCIAL
Were in the midst of a
revolution. As individuals
become the gatekeepers to
their own data, its essential
that brands find access on
the right terms.
DEMOCRATISING DATA
As we converge and combine
our behaviours and intelligence
online, the ability for machine
learning to find solutions to
brand needs is becoming an
essential advantage.

Live content formats and new platforms are key elements of a changing landscape, with a
growing desire to take a break from the internet set to shake up the battle for online attention.
Short content formats have dominated the
internet and social platforms in particular.
Now more platforms are taking on traditional
media and getting into the long form game,
both live and pre-recorded. Brands should
start by understanding the role of live, long
and short form content for their communities.
THE LONG AND SHORT OF IT
As the dominant platforms experience
some changes to their demographic
reach, new platforms such as Twitch and
TikTok are growing. Meanwhile, WeChat
remains central to urban life in China,
however platforms such as Kuaishou and
Douban are showing impressive growth.
NEW PLATFORMS
Whilst time spent on social has still increased overall,
awareness of the negative mental health impacts of social
media has seen the rise of digital detoxing. Some users are
shifting from being always on their devices to more conscious,
intentional usage, helped by features that allow users to
monitor usage. Brands will increasingly need to go beyond
platform tactics, harnessing culture to ensure relevance.

Consumers are spending more time online. But in 2018, we saw consumers
worry about the impact of these activities on their digital well-being.
In early 2018, Facebook rolled out
algorithm updates. These updates limited
viral videos and other public content
as they worried this passive media
consumption would damage peoples well-
being and impact long-term user retention.
PASSIVE CONTENT CONSUMPTION
To escape noisy news feeds, consumers have
flocked to private digital spaces like Stories,
Facebook Groups, and messaging apps. As
brands (and ads) follow them, brands risk being
ignored if they fail to deliver personalized
content that connects on a human level.
RETREAT TO PRIVATE SPACES
Facebooks shift towards content that creates mean-
ingful connections rather than passive consumption
is a loud warning to brands. We need to work hard-
er to create content thats important, interesting, and
timely to build deeper customer relationships, rather
than filling endless content calendars.
