comScore Publishes Latin American Internet Usage Data

Posted on July 25, 2007 Written by Bill Hartzer

comscore

If you’re a marketer, or an online marketer, then you had better take a look at the Latin American market. According to comScore, the average Latin American Internet User spent 29 Hours on the web in June, 2007.

comScore has released their first reports on the internet usage of Latin Americans. Based on data collected through the comScore World Metrix, audience ratings service, the following are the findings from the study of the online behavior of Latin American Internet users age 15 and older, accessing the Internet from either a home or a work computer in June 2007:

  • Brazil had the largest online population with 15.8 million users, which is 11 percent of the country’s population over the age of 15. However, Chile, with 45 percent of its population online, had the highest Internet penetration.
  • The average Latin American Internet user spent 29 hours online during the month — more than the global average of 25 hours.
  • Internet users in Argentina were the most active of all users in the region — accessing the Internet an average of 18 days in the month.
  • The Brazilian Internet user viewed, on average, 3,371 pages during the month — 40 percent more than the Latin American average of 2,338.

Bob Ivins, the EVP of comScore International Markets, said today that:

“Because of it size and rapid development, the Internet industry in Latin America is an exciting region to track and analyze. We have been reporting country-specific browsing data from the comScore panel for a number of years but this is the first time we have compared metrics across the region.”

Here’s the official data as reported by comScore for June 2007, age 15+ for the Latin American market:
