Canada Online: Users and Usage

Product Type: Market Research Report
Published by: eMarketer
Published: September 2009
Product Code: R203-647
Description
Canada’s Internet population continues to grow - by 2013, it will hit 25.9 million, or nearly 75% of the entire nation.

Many of these people are among the world’s most committed Internet users, spending 45 hours or more online each month.

While nearly 65% of consumers in the country own a mobile phone, they do not prize them as highly as Americans do. And the majority do not feel compelled to pay for a data package to surf the Web while away from home.

But traditional media isn't dead -- television still dominates, especially in the highly desirable over-35 audience.

How should marketers be adapting to the changing Canadian media landscape? This new eMarketer report can help show the way.
