Sixty million Indian women use internet: Google study

Mumbai: About 40 percent of the 150 million internet users in the country are women and close to 24 million of them log in everyday to check emails, interact on social networking sites and shop online, according to a study conducted by search giant Google. “Around 60 million women in India are now online and use the Internet to manage their day-to-day life. With easy access to internet at homes, cyber cafes, offices and growing adoption of smart phones, Internet is being used by women for a variety of things,” Google India VP and Managing Director Rajan Anandan told reporters .

The study, which also includes internal data from Google and a survey of 1,000 women, found that three out of four women in SEC AB are now online and 75 percent are in the 15-34 age group with over 24 million women accessing the Internet daily. In terms of online activity, email, search and social networking topped the list, followed by downloading music, looking for educational content, job search, watching videos and consuming news. In terms of top searched categories by women on Google, apparels and accessories was the biggest search category followed by food and drink, baby care, hair care, and skin care. The study found that categories like skin care, hair care, food and drink were the fast growing search categories, with queries coming from mobile phones accounting for almost 25 per cent of the total query volumes in these categories. According to the research conducted by TNS Australia, more than half of the respondents with access to internet, said net research influenced their decision before finalising a product. Internet influence also turned out highest for categories like skin care (72 percent), baby care (69 percent) and hair care (65 percent) products. PTI
