Cisco Annual Internet Report Highlights (2018 – 2023)

The Cisco Annual Internet Report covers mobile, Wi-Fi and fixed broadband networking with quantitative projections on the growth of users, devices and connections as well as network performance and relevant trends over a five-year forecast period (2018 – 2023).

1.  Global mobile and internet user projections by 2023

• More than 70 percent of the global population (5.7 billion people) will have mobile connectivity (2G, 3G, 4G or 5G).
• 66 percent of the global population (5.3 billion people) will be internet users.

2.  Global devices and connections projections by 2023

• There will be 3.6 networked devices/connections per person and nearly 10 devices and connections per household.
• Nearly half (47%) of all devices and connections will be video capable.
• Machine-to-machine (M2M) connections that support a broad range of IoT applications will represent about 50% (14.7 billion) of total global devices and connections.

3.  Global mobile projections by 2023

• 45% of all networked devices will be mobile-connected (3G and below, 4G, 5G or Low Power Wide Area [LPWA]) and 55% will be wired or connected over Wi-Fi.
• Global 5G connections will be 10.6% of total mobile connections, compared to 0.0% in 2018.
• By 2023, global LPWA connections will be 14.4% of total mobile connections, compared to 2.5% in 2018.

• Global Wi-Fi6 hotspots will grow 13-fold from 2020 to 2023 and will be 11% of all public Wi-Fi hotspots.

5.  Global network performance projections (mobile, Wi-Fi, and fixed broadband) by 2023

• Average global mobile connection speeds will more than triple from 13 Mbps (2018) to 44 Mbps (2023).
• Average global Wi-Fi connection speeds will more than triple from 30 Mbps (2018) to 92 Mbps (2023).
• Average global fixed broadband speeds will more than double from 46 Mbps (2018) to 110 Mbps (2023).

6.  Global cybersecurity trends from 2018 to 2019

• Globally, the frequency of DDoS attacks increased by 39%.
• Globally, the peak attack size increased 63%.
• The average DDoS attack size is 1 Gbps (23% of attacks are greater than 1 Gbps); there has been 776% growth in attacks between 100 Gbps and 400 Gbps.
