What accounts for 54% of global IP traffic?

This is amazing. Ever-increasing download speeds, file sharing and the growing adoption of high quality online video are expected to lead to a surge of global IP traffic in the next few years. Cisco expects global traffic to almost quadruple between 2011 and 2016.

After file sharing had been the main contributor to global traffic for many years, online video is now the biggest data hog. In 2012, video (excluding video communication) is expected to account for 54 percent of global IP traffic. Web browsing and email only make up 13 percent of traffic, while voice over IP services and online gaming add less than one percent to the total.

This chart shows Cisco’s forecast of global monthly IP traffic from 2011 to 2016.

Mobile internet browsing takes off

Mobile internet browsing continues to take off. It certainly highlights the need to make sure everything is mobile ready. Our internal data shows essentially the same trend.

In September 2012, mobile phones and tablets will for the first time be responsible for ten percent of internet browsing. For the calculation of usage development, Statista has taken figures from web analytics provider NetMarketShare. By the end of 2013, the share of mobile end devices will increase to over 17 percent.
