China May Pass U.S. in Internet Use

by Larry Richman, Posted February 22nd, 2007

“The US remains the single largest Internet market in the world with 181.9 million Internet users in 2006, but China is likely to take the lead before the decade is out.” That’s the lead line from a recent eMarketer report.

Although the U.S. Internet population continues to grow, the rest of the world is growing even faster–particularly in the Asia-Pacific region. China is growing quickly as its middle class grows and home Internet access becomes widespread. India is also a country of great growth potential.

Morgan Stanley estimates that by the end of 2007 there will be over 1.3 billion Internet users worldwide.
