The increase in the up-take of mobile phones and
mobile internet has opened, and will continue to
open, completely new markets for Digital Platforms,
attracting both incumbents and new tech players.
According to GSMA, the average access to mobile
phones is 68% (55% with mobile internet) in Latin
America and is expected to reach 73% and 64%
respectively by 2025.

Asia Pacific follows closely,
with mobile penetration at 66% (48% with mobile
internet) today and expected to increase to 70% and
61% by 2025.

Sub-Saharan Africa lags further behind
(45% in mobile subscriber penetration and 26%
mobile internet penetration), but by 2025 it should be
reaching over a billion subscriber connections (50%
penetration rate) and half a billion mobile internet
users (39% penetration).

While the rural-urban gap
remains substantial and there are important regional
differences, the gap is narrowing. People living in rural
areas in low-income countries are 37% less likely than
those in urban areas to use mobile internet, down from
45% two years ago.

The trend is expected to continue
as awareness of mobile internet increases, mobile
phone and data becomes more affordable, and 3G and
4G networks expand to rural areas.
In addition, over the last 10 years, penetration of digital
payments has increased significantly. In sub-Saharan
Africa in 2017, more than 30% of rural adults made or
received a digital payment, up from 24% three years
earlier. Mobile money accounts have almost doubled
in that time period, from 11% to 20% of the adult
population. Other regions have experienced similar
increases. In East Asia, the percentage of rural adults
making or receiving digital payments has gone from
32% to more than 55% during the same period; in
South Asia from 15% to more than 25%; and in Latin
America from 32% to more than 42%.
