Mobile connects Southeast Asians
A preference for mobile over other connected devices is widespread and continuously growing among Southeast Asian users.

This is reflected in the region’s gaming sector, where mobile gaming apps dominate Southeast Asia’s gaming market, making up the largest segment. As smartphone ownership in the region's major markets has already surpassed ** percent, mobile devices are the most widely accessible way to go online for consumers across the region.
Mobile infrastructure varies across the region
Malaysia and Singapore boast some of the highest mobile internet penetration rates in the world, attributable to their national mobile internet infrastructures.

However, mobile network infrastructure is developing quickly, as Indonesia's mobile internet penetration surpassed ** percent in 2024, marking a significant increase from under ** percent in 2020.
