State of the Mobile Web: First Quarter, 2008

Welcome to the One Web

Opera has made Web browsers since 1995. When we decided in 1998 to squeeze our browser to fit onto mobile phones, we set out to preserve the same Web experience people expected on their computer. However, in those days the Mobile Web was limited and tangled in a mess of differing, competing technologies.

We have spent the last ten years fighting to change this. We believe that there is One Web. We believe there should be no difference in the information that is available to you whether you use the fastest computer or a refurbished mobile phone. Now in 2008, it seems we are getting closer to the goal of One Web.

I invite you to see some this transition for yourself in our first "State of the Mobile Web" report. We looked at the aggregate, anonymous traffic of more than 44 million cumulative Opera Mini users worldwide to see where they chose to spend their time when using the Web on their mobile devices. I hope you find this report useful, actionable and interesting.

I welcome your feedback and thank you for reading.

Top Trends

Social networking stands supreme
Almost 40% of traffic worldwide is to social networks. In some countries, such as the United States, South Africa and Indonesia, the social Web accounts for more than 60% of the traffic.

One Web will triumph over WAP content
Full Web surfing comprises more than 77% of all traffic. Content on WAP and .mobi sites accounted for 23% of mobile Web traffic. This share continues to decline as more consumers both use Opera Mini to access rich Web content and become more comfortable browsing the Web on their phones.

Part 1: Growth

Opera Mini cumulative users per month

Cumulative Users

Opera Mini has become the world's most popular mobile browser. Since its worldwide launch in 2006, more than 44 million people have downloaded and used Opera Mini. More than 11.9 million people used Opera Mini in March 2008. In the last quarter, the number of people who downloaded and used Opera Mini grew 26% over the prior quarter in 2007.

Pages transcoded by Opera Mini per month

Pages Transcoded

Opera Mini users viewed more than 2.4 billion pages in March. In the first three months of 2008, the number of pages viewed through Opera Mini grew almost 57% over the last quarter of 2007. In March, each person using Opera Mini viewed 202 pages on average.

Total data consumed per month (in MB)

Data Consumed

As the content available to mobile phones improves, data consumption increases. Last month, those 11.9 million Opera Mini users generated more than 33 million MB of data for operators worldwide. This represents an almost 88% growth over the previous quarter.

Part 2: Content Preferences

By examining aggregate numbers, we are able to paint a picture of the types of sites and services that win on the mobile Web. Tracking the type of content across the top 100 sites visited by all Opera Mini users, we find:

Social networking is popular worldwide and is the leading source of Web traffic for mobile devices.
Successful sites on the Web find users on mobile phones, further underscoring the emergence of One Web.
Consumers desire a rich Web experience regardless of the device they use to access the Web. WAP continues to diminish as more-capable Web browsers are able to display full Web content on mobile phones.
Nearly a quarter of all traffic is headed to content portals or search engines.
