For this week’s final Chart of the Day, we preview data from our new Millennials report to look at device importance among this trend-setting age group.
Globally, it’s smartphones which rule the roost for this metric – over 4 in 10 Millennials say their phone is their most important device for getting online, compared to just 3 in 10 who say the same about a laptop, 2 in 10 about a desktop and a meagre 3% who choose a tablet as their key device.
However, there’s a clear regional divide here. Across North America and Europe – where PCs and laptops still remain much more fundamental access points – mobiles are yet to take top spot. Compare that to APAC, LatAm or the Middle East & Africa, where mobiles have a lead of at least ten percentage points, and the differences in engagement are plain to see.
So, although Millennials might be a mobile-first generation, this is much more pronounced in some parts of the world than others.
