How digital influences how we shop around the world
This report analyses how shoppers use online connected devices (computers, mobile phones and tablets) to aid or even complete their household grocery shopping.
One-third of the world’s population is online, an increase of 528 percent over the past 10 years*. While Internet penetration rates vary by geographic region; North America (79%), Australia/Oceania (68%), Europe (61%), Latin America (40%), Middle East (36%), Asia (26%) and Africa (14%), they continue to climb steadily—especially in the developing countries of the world.
Connected devices, such as computers, mobile phones and tablets have become a way of life for many, but shoppers are digitally engaged to varying degrees depending on the products they buy. While e-commerce activity for some consumer-packaged goods (CPG) products—especially perishable categories where freshness counts—may not be as transformative as other non-CPG industries such as books, music and travel, online grocery purchasing power is growing.
Digital’s influence on grocery shopping is on the rise
Online shopping intentions for food and beverage categories increased 44% in two years:
6-in-10 global respondents used the Internet for grocery shopping research
Nearly half (49%)of respondents purchased a product online
Globally, 46% used social media to help make purchase decisions
37% purchased from online-only stores most frequently
But what types of online activities do consumers engage in most? How much time is spent on these activities? What are future spending intentions, which websites are preferred, and what payment methods are favored? New findings from a Nielsen online survey of respondents from 56 countries around the world provide insight into digital influences on grocery shopping behavior. This report offers considerations for marketers and guiding principles to help build successful online strategies

The social media report: state of the media 2012
This report looks at the ever growing importance of social media to the world, in all facets of everyday life. Social media and social networking are no longer in their infancy. Since the emergence of the first social media networks some two decades ago, social media has continued to evolve and offer consumers around the world new and meaningful ways to engage with the people, events, and brands that matter to them.
Now years later, social media is still growing rapidly and has become an integral part of our daily lives. Today, social networking is truly a global phenomenon
Global faces and networked places: A Nielsen report on social networking's new global footprint
Now visited by more than two-thirds (67 percent) of the global online population, "Member Communities", which includes both social networks and blogs, has become the fourth most popular online category?ahead of personal e-mail. It is growing twice as fast as any of the other four largest sectors (search, portals, PC software and e-mail), according to The Nielsen Company\u27s Global Faces and Networked Places, a comprehensive report published revealing the new global footprint of social networking.
According to the Nielsen report, Facebook?the world?s most popular social network?is visited monthly by three in every 10 people online across the nine markets in which Nielsen tracks social networking use. Orkut in Brazil has the largest domestic online reach (70 percent) of any social network in these markets.
Other key findings include:
One in every 11 minutes online globally is accounted for by social network and blogging sites.
The social network and blogging audience is becoming more diverse in terms of age: the biggest increase in visitors during 2008 to ?Member Community? Web sites globally came from the 35?49 year old age group (+11.3 million).
Mobile is playing an increasingly important role in social networking. Nielsen found U.K. mobile Web users have the greatest propensity to visit a social network through their handset, with 23 percent (2 million people) doing so, compared to 19 percent in the U.S. (10.6 million people).
These numbers are a big increase over last year?up 249 percent in the U.K. and 156 percent in the U.S.
The new report provides insights into the changing size and audience composition of the global social networking audience and the increasing share of Internet time for which it accounts. The report also analyzes how the major players are faring and what advertisers and publishers can do to take advantage of the social network phenomenon
