According to a recent Cisco study, Global Consumer Internet traffic is expected to
grow 4x from 2011 to 2016, from 21 to 81 petabytes per month, representing a 32% 5-year CAGR.
Table 6 Internet Video & Gaming Traffic Driving Global Internet Bandwidth Consumption, Petabytes per Month
File Sharing: includes peer-to-peer traffic from all recognized P2P systems such as BitTorrent & eDonkey as well as web-based file-sharing systems
Internet Video: Includes short-form (i.e. YouTube), long form (i.e. Hulu), live, video-to-TV (i.e. Netflix through Roku), online purchases and rentals webcams and web-based video monitors (excludes P2P video downloads)
Web, email, data: includes web, email, instant messaging, and other data traffic (excludes file sharing)
Gaming: includes casual online gaming, networked console gaming, and multiplayer virtual world gaming

Internet Video is currently the largest segment of consumer Internet traffic at 10 Petabytes a month (57% of total global Consumer Internet Traffic), yet it should continue to grow at a robust clip (34% ’11-16 CAGR) to reach an estimated 44 petabytes per month in 2016. As expected, mobile video traffic is growing rapidly off a lower base – from 308 petabytes per month in 2011 (3% of global consumer Internet video traffic) to 7615 petabytes in 2016 (17% of global segment traffic). Areas with the fastest Internet video traffic growth include the Middle East & Africa (88% CAGR), Latin America (59% CAGR) and Central & Eastern Europe (48% CAGR). The Asia Pacific and North American regions make up the bulk of consumer Internet video traffic today at a combined 7,325 petabytes per month, or 70% of the worldwide total (39% Asia-Pacific; 31% North America). But while the Asia Pacific share remains virtually unchanged through 2016 (~38% in 2016), North America’s share of worldwide consumer video traffic is expected to decline to roughly 18% by 2016 as the more mature / penetrated region grows slower than the overall market – 20% ’11- ’16 CAGR for North America vs. 34% for the worldwide total (see Table 8 for a Summary Sheet).

Global Consumer Internet traffic is expected to grow 4x from 2011 to 2016, from 21 to 81 petabytes per month, representing a 32% 5-year CAGR.
Internet Video and Online Gaming are the segments with the strongest growth, with CAGRs of 34% and 52% respectively.

Online Gaming consumer traffic is growing the fastest, albeit off a small base (currently <1% of total traffic) – 77 petabytes in 2011 increasing to 630 petabytes in 2016 (52% 5- year CAGR). As with the video segment, mobile gaming traffic is growing rapidly off a very low base with a 65% 5-year CAGR – from 4 petabytes per month in 2011 (5% of global consumer Internet gaming traffic) to 49 petabytes in 2016 (8% of global segment traffic). Fixed (landline, Wi-Fi, etc.) Internet gaming traffic continues to grow nicely also with the continued emergence of premium digitally download content (PLDC) for both connected consoles and tablets.
As we canvas the Q2 results for the Interactive Entertainment sector, digital revenues continue to represent a growing portion (roughly 53%) of the overall total, growing at roughly 24% Y/Y.
Again, the Asia Pacific and North American regions make up the bulk of consumer Internet gaming traffic today at a combined 60 petabytes per month, or 78% of the worldwide total (48% Asia-Pacific; 30% North America). The share of gaming traffic for the two regions remains consistent through 2016 growing 300bps to 81%+.
As we have highlighted with the Internet Video and Gaming traffic, mobile bandwidth usage is growing rapidly, albeit off a still low base, from 399 petabytes per month in 2011 up to a projected 8,244 petabytes in 2016, representing an estimated 83% 2011-2016 5- year CAGR. Fixed Internet traffic is growing from 20,134 petabytes per month in 2011 to a projected 73,722 petabytes per month in 2016, a 30% 5-year CAGR on a large base representing 98% of consumer Internet traffic in 2011 moving to 90% of that traffic in 2016 (obviously with mobile traffic growing the 10% reciprocal).

The Asia Pacific region currently generates the most consumer Internet traffic, representing roughly 40% of the global total, and should essentially maintain that share through 2016. Over the next 5 years or so, North America should grow slightly slower than the overall global market (24% 5-yr CAGR for North America vs. 32% for total worldwide growth) which is driving its share of global consumer Internet traffic from 26% in 2011 down to an estimated 19% by 2016. Meanwhile, the regions with the strongest traffic growth outlook are the Middle East & Africa, Latin America, and Central & Eastern Europe, with 5-year projected CAGRs of 73%, 53%, and 42%, respectively (see Table 8 on the following page).
