Mobile and multi-platform usage in the Malaysia market has increased significantly over time, comScore has announced. A recent analysis based on data from the comScore Mobile Metrix and comScore MMX Multi-Platform services revealed some key findings:
Taking the base of people who use desktop devices in a month, mobile-only users add an additional 27% to the total digital population in Malaysia.

Most users access digital content on more than one device – a multiplatform majority. A third of the total digital population still uses desktop exclusively, and one in five people in Malaysia uses only smartphone or tablet devices in a month to access the Internet.

Younger groups showing an increased propensity for mobile-only usage. The 25–44 age group exhibits the largest share of multiplatform usage, whereas desktop-only usage grows as the age brackets get higher. From this, comScore believes that mobile and multi-platform usage will continue to grow as the dominant ways in which people engage with digital content.

Platform choice is also dictated by the content being consumed, with smartphones taking priority for more functional or location-based tasks such as checking the weather or sports coverage. Tablet usage tends to be more prevalent for more leisurely, open-ended activities such as games or shopping.
