Opera Mini - 169 million users

56% of them are only users of the mobile Internet.

On desktops, Opera is currently a bit of a secondary browser, compared to Chrome, Firefox, Safari and IE. But in the mobile market, everything is different.


Depending on which statistics you prefer to believe, Opera will be either in the first place or very close to it. In developing countries, Opera is consistently ahead of its competitors.

From November 2010 to November 2011, a study was conducted, the results of which showed that all over the world, 56% of users prefer Opera Mini to access the Internet via mobile devices, and 43% prefer a different browser.

In some countries, this figure is even higher:
- Egypt - 72%
- Bangladesh - 69%
- Brazil - 65%
- South Africa - 61%.

At first glance, the numbers seem high enough. This is because wired Internet is not very well developed in these countries, so the easiest way to enter the Web here is mobile devices.



Also during the study, it turned out that Opera Mini users are 35% more likely to buy music and games using mobile devices than users of other browsers.

And some more numbers.

Currently Opera Mini has more than 168,800,000 users, which is 64% more than in March 2011.

These users viewed more than 117 billion pages in a year, which is 96% more than in 2011.

According to general estimates, Opera users generate more than 1,918,000 megabytes of traffic.
