Internet Usage Statistics in Asia

Singapore is unranked with 2,700,000 users but if we’re looking at penetration rates, Singapore is 5th after Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong and Malaysia.

Penetration rates:

• Japan – 73.8%
• South Korea – 70.7%
• Hong Kong – 69.5%
• Malaysia – 59%
• Singapore – 58.6%

Penetration rates are calculated using the number of internet users in a country divided by the population of that country.  That means that 1 in every 2 persons in Singapore is an Internet user.  Pretty encouraging stats if you are marketing to a local audience, no?
