General Asian and European internet statistics
Asia and Europe together account for two-thirds of the total internet users on Earth. North America has about 1/5th of all users. It also has the highest penetration- close to 69%. Asia and Europe have lower penetration rates, more so Asia. It explains why Asia will be the hotbed of the next global ecommerce revolution. International ecommerce is still in a nascent stage, and will grow as the number of users continue to grow. Getting an international merchant account is not too difficult for businesses in America. Plus given the wide variety of things that can be sold on the net, we can only think that the number of users will continue to show an upward curve.
