Brazil: Digital in 2019 Report

Published on 02/28/2019 - Updated on 05/05/2023

The digital world is changing at a fast pace around the globe. The recently launched Digital in 2019 report, by We Are Social and Hootsuite, gives us updated insights into all things digital worldwide, from internet penetration to smartphone and social media usage. As we did with last year’s edition, we have compiled the main stats found in the report about digital in Brazil as of January 2019. Check them out.

 

Digital in 2019 | Annual Digital Growth

– The country’s population grew by 0.7%, to 211.6 million people.

– 10 million more Brazilians now have access to the internet, a growth of 7.2% in comparison to last years’ report.

– There are 7.7% more active social media users in Brazil, totaling 140 million users.

– There was a decrease in mobile subscriptions of 2.9%. However, there are still more than one mobile device per inhabitant in Brazil. The decrease is probably justified by the increase in smartphone usage. It is common for phone operators to offer free of charge calls for numbers with the same operator, so Brazilians tend to have more than one subscription for savings purposes. However, with a smartphone, users can rely on mobile data to make phone calls, eliminating the need for multiple subscriptions

Digital in 2019 | Mobile Phones

– 66% of all Brazilians are mobile internet users.

– Brazilians spend 4h 45 min each day on the internet on their mobile devices. This represents just over 50% of all the time they spend online every day. Brazil is the third country in mobile internet usage in the world, behind Thailand and the Philippines.

– 61% of all Brazilians access their social media accounts through mobile devices, an increase of 8.3% in comparison to the previous year.

– There are 215.2 million mobile connections in Brazil, which represents a penetration of 102%.
