The growth rate of internet use in Russia and India is out-pacing the increase in China according to a new survey from comScore. The US remains the largest market for internet use with 153.4 million users, but that number is only up 2% over the last year.
China is second in number of people using the internet with 86.8 million people online, an increase of 20% over the course of a year.
But, growth in India was 33% to 21.1 million users, and in Russia use rose 21% to 12.7 million.
Mexico was another fast growing market with use rising 18% to 10.1 million.
Growth in France, Germany, and England was slow, between 1% and 4%.
Media reports have indicated that China’s growth was out-running other countries around the world. But, it appears that the Asian country has some competition.
