This is evidenced by data from a report from the research and statistical service Datareportal as of April 2024. Moreover, the growth of the Internet audience is quite rapid, and it already accounts for 67.1% of the total population of the planet.

The number of Internet users continues to grow: the global online population increased by 178 million people in a year.

Rising internet access means the number of people who remain unconnected has dropped to 2.66 billion - most of them in South and East Asia and Africa.

However, these figures suggest that work still needs to be done to achieve the goal of “universal access” and the quality of internet access needs to be addressed.

The vast majority of Internet users in the world - 96.3% - use mobile phones to access the Internet at least occasionally.

Social networks continue to gain popularity: at the end of 2024, the number of active social network users reached 5.07 billion people, representing 62.6% of the total number of people on Earth.

The average time spent on social platforms is 2 hours and 20 minutes per day.

The average global internet user now spends 6 hours and 35 minutes online per day, a value that has remained stable over the past year.

The cumulative time spent by Internet users around the world is equivalent to approximately 1.5 billion years of human existence.

Mobile payments also play a crucial role in online shopping, with 54.8% of internet users aged 16 to 64 purchasing something online every week.

As of February 2024, the total number of Internet users in Kazakhstan reached 92.3% of the total population, while 71.5% of Kazakhstanis use these networks.

Over the past three years, mobile traffic in the country has grown by 44% and will account for two-thirds of total traffic in 2024, while desktop traffic will account for a third of all Internet traffic.
