'The World of Mobile Phones' Examines Usage Around the Globe

— January 24, 2012 — Tech
The relationship between a cell phone and its owner is not to be taken lightly, and as 'The World of Mobile Phones' indicates, more and more people around the globe are relying on their mobile devices for entertainment, social media, and connectivity to the outside world.

Created by So Mobile, the infographic shares surprising statistics about cell phone usage, from the percentage of "sexters" in the USA, to the number of texts China sends each day (a whopping 2.7 billion). While most people I know have trouble keeping track of their one cell phone, The World of Mobile Phones shows that many people in Russia, Saudi Arabia, Italy, Brazil, and certain other countries actually own several mobile devices.

It's no surprise that China's population puts it in first place for cell phone ownership, but the popularity of mobiles in other parts of the world shown by The World of Mobile Phones is eye-opening.
Trend Themes
1. Increasing Mobile Phone Usage - Opportunity for companies to develop innovative mobile apps and services that cater to the growing demand for entertainment, social media, and connectivity.
2. Multi-device Ownership - Potential for businesses to create integrated ecosystems that seamlessly interact between multiple mobile devices for a more convenient user experience.
3. Global Disparity in Cell Phone Usage - Room for companies to tailor their offerings to specific regions based on the unique cell phone usage patterns and behaviors.
Industry Implications
1. Mobile App Development - Companies can develop new apps that cater to the increasing demand for entertainment, social media, and connectivity on mobile devices.
2. Consumer Electronics - Opportunity to create innovative and interconnected mobile devices that cater to the growing trend of multi-device ownership.
3. Telecommunications - Potential for telecom companies to expand their services and offerings based on the specific cell phone usage patterns and behaviors in different regions.
