Southeast Asia is poised to be a leader in mobile internet usage in 2018, according to a report by Google and Temasek.
The region's internet economy is estimated to hit $50 billion by the end of 2017, surpassing Google and Temasek’s expectations by 35%. And this figure is expected to climb 300% in 2025, to reach $200 billion.
Southeast Asia has more than 641 million consumers, 51% of whom are monthly active internet users; that leaves plenty of room for growth in mobile internet usage.
While many of us do not really notice, this region has quite a big number of its locally-made smartphone across nations.
