338 million internet users that businesses can not ignore

 338 million internet users that businesses can not ignoreAs per latest report published by latest U.S. Census Bureau, number of internet users in china has crossed 338 millions users, which is more than entire US population. This was 13.4% jump from last year and the growth is likely to continue  as internet penetration in Chinese is still only 25.5%.

Despite the control and information and business overall which i talked about in my previous post about internet activism, business around the world cannot ignore the potential of hugh number of Chinese internet users. In fact it also gives the direction in which internet is moving. Surprisingly majority of this growth is due to growth in mobile internet users. It grew more than 30% with internet users in mobile phones reaching 115 million.

Following is one of presentations which i found at slideshare and which gives an idea about the size of internet market we are dealing with, which makes even big companies like Google to accept occasional snubs from Chinese government.

    I loved your blog 338 million internet users which business can not ignore | Chicky Moves It relates to what I’ve been searching on the internet for internet business, been searching for a long time, so finally I’ve found it, and I’m thankful! Gosh, it’s already Friday today, I forgot to do my groceries :P I’ll make sure I’ll order some pizza tonight. I know it’s unhealthy but as long as I have something to eat, I don’t mind! Yum! Pizza’s are delicious!
