By 2018, 1/2 of All Internet Users Will Live in Asia

By 2018, according to eMarketer, nearly half of the planet's Internet users will live in the Asia-Pacific region. At present, about 45 percent of Internet users live in Asia, according to Internet World Stats.

But China and India represent the majority of those users. For example, of perhaps about a billion Internet users in Asia, China represents 591 million, while India represents 213 million, about 80 percent of the total, according to Statista.

Japan represents about 10 percent, Indonesia about seven percent, South Korea about four percent, as does the Philippines. Bangladesh and Vietnam are closing on about four percent.
