An article in the New York Times talks about Google's dominance of the Internet in both India and Brazil:
Another reason why Google does well in in India is because Orkut is successful there (unlike in many other countries).
In India, Google captures:
- 88% of searches
- 64% of maps
- 8% of blogs
- nearly 50% of email market (in the US, it is only 6.4%)
So which of Google's services did you use today? (I used Google's search engine plus Gmail).
Google was one of the first search engines on the scene when the Indian market was developing. This gives them an added advantage.In those countries, for every hour people spend online, about 18 minutes are on a Google service.
To be precise, Google accounts for nearly 30 percent of people’s online minutes in Brazil and nearly 29 percent in India. The next country in terms of Google’s dominance is Ireland, where it accounts for 16 percent of online minutes.
The global average is 9.4 percent, or slightly higher than in the United States.
