Internet penetration:Mega city, Mumbai is on the top of the internet usage list based on the number of internet users

with 8.1 million claimed Internet users and 6.2 million active users, according to a survey conducted by IMRB and Internet and Mobile Association of India (IAMAI). Delhi including the NCR came in the second spot with 6.2 claimed users and 5 million active Internet users. Eastern city of Kolkata took the third place while the city described as the silicon valley of India managed only a sixth position on the list of internet usage. The survey shows an interesting fact that the internet is not limited to the rich populations in the country as towns with a population of less than 200,000 together had more internet users than the top four metro cities combined. The survey considers active internet users as those who have used the internet at least once in the last one month while a claimed internet user is someone who has used Internet at any point in time. IAMAI's president Dr. Subho Ray explained, "Two things are absolutely clear from the survey. First, the internet density is very poor in top metros in spite of awareness, education and infrastructure. Secondly, internet is now clearly and firmly a small town phenomenon." The survey included 13,065 households and 49,942 individuals in urban areas and 3,500 households and 13,209 individuals in the rural region.

April 19, 2012 By iamwire 6 Comments

According to the latest research by Forrester, a leading global research and advisory firm, the e-commerce market in India is set to grow the fastest within the Asia-Pacific Region at a CAGR of over 57% between 2012-16. The report, titled Asia Pacific Online Retail Forecast, 2011 To 2016, has been issued by Forrester Research Inc. Analyst Zia Daniell Wigder, with Steven Noble, Vikram Sehgal and Lily Varon. The recently released report looks at growth in key e-commerce markets in the Asia-Pacific region, besides identifying key trends in each of the markets and projected market size by country over the next five years. Forrester had written its first online retail forecast for the Asia Pacific region in October 2010. As per the company, since then, e-commerce in every market in the region has charged ahead, with growth continued unabated.

As per Wigder, India will grow quickly off a small base. Indias eCommerce market, by far the smallest of those covered in the forecast, is poised to grow by more than five-fold by 2016 as the number of online buyers and per capita online spending increase rapidly. This market is gaining more attention as global brands look to markets that are in the early stages of eCommerce adoption but offer significant long-term potential. As per the report, while compound annual growth rates in the mature e-commerce markets of Japan, South Korea, and Australia will run 11% to 12% over the next five years, in the rapidly growing markets of China and India, these growth rates will be 25% and 57%, respectively. The report also highlights the rapid growth of the e-commerce market in neighbouring China, where a CAGR of over 20% will take the market to over $350 billion. According to Wigder, When the U.S. online retail market was roughly th e same size as Chinas is today, it was growing at a fraction of the pace. Forrester Researchs projections for Asia-Pacific e-commerce sales by country (in billions, in U.S. dollars), in 2012 and 2016.

The forecast notes e-commerces rapid growth in India, where sales are forecast to grow 57% annually through 2016. Wigder says e-commerce sales in India will surpass $1 billion for the first time this year and reach $8.8 billion by 2016. Indias e-commerce industry is set to grow on the back of rising demand from consumers and increasing penetration of technology. The report gives credence to the fact that E-Commerce in India is here to stay.
