New data confirms this trend and sets a new record.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>According to the latest Statcounter report published by the TechGaged portal, in May 2025, mobile devices generated 64% of all global web traffic \u2013 this is the highest in the entire history of observations. Growth has been going on for eight consecutive quarters. For comparison, ten years ago, the share of mobile traffic was about 31%.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>By operating systems, Android accounts for about 73% of traffic, iOS \u2013 about 26%, the rest of the platforms \u2013 a small share. By region, Africa leads with 69% and Asia with 65%, while in Europe and North America mobile traffic accounts for about half of the total (49% and 48%, respectively). In Oceania, this figure is lower \u2013 39%. Poland stands out with 53% of mobile traffic.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Internet traffic from smartphones by continent:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Africa \u2013 about 69% of traffic is from smartphones<\/li>\n<li>Asia \u2013 65%<\/li>\n<li>South America \u2013 51%<\/li>\n<li>Europe \u2013 49%<\/li>\n<li>North America \u2013 48%<\/li>\n<li>Oceania \u2013 39%<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The key reasons for the growth are the availability of inexpensive smartphones, the spread of 5G networks, especially in Asia, and the expansion of the use of mobile devices for various tasks \u2013 from entertainment to financial transactions.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Experts expect the share of mobile traffic to grow and exceed 70% in 2026, as more and more users choose smartphones as their primary way to access the Internet.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-235865\" class=\"wp-image-235865 size-full perfmatters-lazy\" alt=\"Traffic growth chart.
