Czechs in the lead

According to the study, there are 31 million internet users in the V4 countries. The Czech Republic, with 6.7 million users, is the second largest internet market in Central Europe after Poland. However, the Czech Republic achieved the highest rate of internet penetration (71 per cent) in V4 countries for all age categories (age 10+). The distribution of Czech internet users by gender is less equal than in other V4 countries - 52 per cent of users are male, while in other countries a slight predominance of women can be observed. The Czech Republic has also the highest proportion (17 per cent) of the oldest age group of users (age 55 +).

Moreover, the traffic from mobile devices during the year 2013 on Czech websites involved in the research increased tenfold. In December 2013, 10 per cent of page views were generated from mobile phones and tablets, and in this area a constant growth is expected.
