TNS Mobile Life 2011 Shows that Content is King for Mobile<\/strong><\/h2>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Social networking and internet access are key drivers of mobile content consumption <\/em><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/p>\n

SINGAPORE, 26 April 2011 \u2013 Singapore, with the world\u2019s third largest penetration of smart phones, is at the forefront of the changing world of mobile.\u00a0 Presented in Singapore today, TNS Mobile Life shows that Singaporeans are demanding more from their devices than ever before with a clear focus on what is on the phone rather than the phone itself.\u00a0 This marks an opportunity and a challenge for companies looking to get a piece of the local market.<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Singapore seen as an indicator of global mobile trends<\/strong><\/p>\n

The TNS Mobile Life study reveals thatSingapore, which has the world\u2019s third highest penetration of smartphones (72%), more than twice that of developed Asia.\u00a0 Singaporeans do more on their mobile devices in every aspect of mobile activity, surpassing the global average twice in terms of mobile internet access. The range of activities that Singaporeans want to do with their phones are also more advanced in comparison to their global counterparts. This is driven by a high demand for social content, location-based services as well as functionalities that enable \u2018anytime anywhere\u2019 access to services.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou only have to travel on the MRT to see how much those of us in Singapore rely on our mobile devices at every point of our day, and in fact Singapore is the top Asian country in terms of mobile device ownership. Singapore is one of the most advanced countries in terms of mobile adoption which makes it the ideal testing ground for new solutions and content.\u00a0 What we\u2019re seeing here is a glimpse into the future of other countries round the world,\u201d commented James Fergusson, Managing Director, Global Technology Sector, TNS.<\/p>\n

Accessibility to social content an increasing key consideration in device purchases<\/strong><\/p>\n

More than 1 in 4 global consumers stated that content and apps are a key consideration at the point of purchase, and 61% of Singaporeans agree with this.\u00a0 This may to explain the continued growth and popularity of the Android and iOS operating systems due, partly, to Apple\u2019s and Google\u2019s ability to keep pace with consumers\u2019 content demands, particularly with regard to social networking and rich media functionality. However, handset brand is still considered an important factor in product decision making across developed (44%) and emerging (77%) markets. <\/strong><\/p>\n

James Fergusson continued, \u201cThe real interest comes when you see how and what Singaporean users rely on in their mobile devices.\u00a0 Across the board Singaporeans are more active users of core services from SMS (98% in Singapore vs. 74% in developed Asia) to mobile internet (62% in Singapore vs. 31% globally).\u201d<\/p>\n

Singaporeans also vary when it comes to drivers for future product choice, demonstrating a clear interest in a wide range of services.\u00a0 Social networking applications are increasingly important with Facebook being the number one accessed website on mobiles devices in Singapore. Video calling is set to grow with 52% of those surveyed stating an interest in the technology.<\/p>\n

Demand for tablets on the rise but not necessarily at the expense of other devices<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tablets are adding to the number of smart devices available. Across all markets, tablets are generating substantial momentum, with intended ownership rates at 15% globally. Singapore once again showed extraordinary results, with 42% of Singaporeans indicating interest in buying one within the next six months. 76% of those potential tablet owners intending to buy it as an additional mobile device rather than as a replacement.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you look at when Singaporeans are using their devices it also throws up some interesting information,\u201d added Fergusson.\u00a0 \u201cYou see a massive spike in mobile usage during the daily commute and in the late evening, while all mobile activity dips dramatically as Singaporeans eat dinner. However, the statistics suggest that those of us in Singapore are sharing lunch with distant friends and relations, hence the level of social networking increases around lunchtime each day.\u201d<\/p>\n
