This report uses data from a wide variety of
sources, including market research agencies,
internet and social media companies,
governments and public bodies, news media,
journalists, and our own internal analysis.
Wherever possible, we’ve prioritised data
sources that provide broader geographical
coverage, in order to minimise the potential
variations between data points, and offer
more reliable comparison across countries.
However, where we believe that an individual
metric provides a more reliable reference,
we’ve used such individual numbers to
ensure the most accurate reporting.
Furthermore, due to differing data collection
and preparation methodologies used by
these organisations, as well as the different
sample periods during which the data were
collected, there may be significant
differences in the reported metrics for similar
data points throughout this report.
In particular, data collected via surveys often
vary from one report to another, even if those
data have been collected by the same
organisation using the same methodology
and approach in each wave.
Similarly, reports of internet user numbers
vary considerably between different sources,
due to the complex nature of collecting this
data. In part, this is because there are fewer
commercial imperatives for governments and
regulators to collect and publish regular
internet user data compared to, for example,
the regular user number updates published
by social media companies, who depend on
such data to sell their products and services.
However, the latest user numbers published
by these companies can be a useful proxy for
the number of internet users in countries
where no other reliable data are available,
because all active social media users must
have an active internet connection in order
to access social media.
Because of this, on occasion, we’ve used the
latest monthly active user data from social
media companies to inform our internet user
numbers, especially in less-developed
economies, where ‘official’ internet user
numbers are published less frequently. As a
result, there are a number of countries in this
report where the number of social media
users equals the number of internet users.
It’s unlikely that 100 percent of internet users
in any given country will use the same social
media platform though, so in cases where
internet and social media user numbers are
the same, it’s likely that the actual number of
internet users will be higher than the number
we’ve reported.
Lastly, in some instances in this year’s report,
metrics may have decreased year-on-year
due to corrections in the source data, actual
declines in user numbers, and changes in the
primary data source we’ve used in our
reporting due to reasons such as increased
reliability, or the non-availability of updated
numbers from previous providers.
If you have any questions about specific
data points in these reports, or if you’d like to
offer your organisation’s data for
consideration in future reports, please email
our reports team: reports@kepios.com
