According to a new forecast from Zenith, next year, three-quarters of global internet traffic will come from mobile devices. While we were all likely aware of the internet increasingly becoming mobile-first, 75% is a huge proportion when you consider the number of desktops and laptops still out there.

This year that number has risen to 68% and Zenith predicts it will rise to 79% globally by 2018.
In Spain, the country with the highest mobile internet usage rates, that number is already around 85%. As far as smartphone penetration goes, Zenith claims Ireland has the highest percentage of smartphone users, with a massive 92% of the Irish reported to own a smartphone. Singapore comes next with 91%.
Zenith forecasts that, concomitant to the rise in internet use from mobile devices, there will be a plenitude of new mobile advertising to go with it. So much so that 60% of global advertising revenue in 2018 is predicted to be mobile-driven.
The company predicts that mobile-first advertising will be worth $134 billion worldwide in 2018. For reference, that figure is greater than the estimated global advertising budgets for newspapers, magazines, cinema and outdoor advertising combined.
