Digital marketing in India is not a fluctuating trend anymore. The latest numbers show that we have definitely entered what could be called the ‘social media age!’
Our latest compilation of statistics, Snapshot of Digital India (February 2013) captures some of the online connectivity, social media, social commerce, mobile commerce milestones that India has accomplished; and also the numbers it looks forward to surpass in the coming years. It will be useful to you while determining the scope and objectives of your digital marketing strategy.
This presentation contains updated statistics about the latest trends in smartphone and tablet usage, as well as a section on the country-wise comparison of social media usage.
We have also included facts and figures on Near Field Communication (NFC), a technology that is still at a nascent stage in India; but on its way to entering our lives like never before. NFC involves the use of a set of short range wireless technologies that require a distance of 4 centimeters or less to initiate a connection. It is predicted to be the technology of the future to make mobile payments through mobile phone devices.
