Almost three quarters (72.6 percent) of internet users will access it via their smartphones only by 2025, equivalent to nearly 3.7 billion people. Just over 1.3 billion are forecast to access the internet via smartphone and PC by 2025, and 69 million will access the internet via PC only. Most of the growth in smartphone use will come from China, India, Indonesia, Nigeria and Pakistan, but there will still be 2.4 billion people who do not own a mobile phone by 2025.
