Read on for more details on the rate of mobile workforce penetration in Asia/Pacific.
The recent market analysis by IDC titled “Worldwide Mobile Worker Population Forecast and Analysis 2005-2009” presents for the first time a worldwide view of a five-year mobile worker population in 5 regions: The United States, Western Europe, Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan), Japan and the rest of the world (ROW).
The study broadly segments the mobile worker population into three core categories: Office-based mobile workers, non-office based mobile workers, and home-based mobile workers.
By 2009, the Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan) mobile population will reach 582.5 million, up from 427 million in 2004. Mobile workforce penetration rate in the region will reach 31.1%, up from 25% in 2004. This places the Asia/Pacific as the fourth most mobile-enabled workforce in the world.
