Assumptions that informed segmentation
| Assumption | Implications |
|---|---|
| All readers are considered of equal value as vision of Wikimedia focus on "every single human being" | Segmentation prioritizes countries/regions based on size without weighting for other factors such as GDP/capita or access to alternatives. |
| Wikimedia’s core products and services require Internet access to utilize | Segmentation prioritizes countries/regions based on Internet (either computer or mobile) access and growth rather than total population |
| The Wikimedia Foundation sets priorities based on the potential contribution to the vision and more specifically the Foundation's five-year goals | Segmentation prioritizes growing markets where Wikipedia has lower penetration Secondarily, it distinguishes markets where Wikipedia is mature (people can use it effectively today) vs. emerging (needs contributor growth to be successful) |
| In some parts of the world, there are opportunities to group countries into regions based on common language and to some extent history and culture | Segmentation groups countries in parts of the Middle East & N. Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa and South America creating larger markets |
The results of the segmentation depend on the assumptions you start with
| Chosen assumption | Alternate assumption 1 | Alternate assumption 2 |
|---|---|---|
| * All readers are considered of equal value ** Segmentation prioritizes countries/regions based on size |
* Readers with greater socioeconomic needs are of higher value ** Segmentation weighted based on GDP per capita of countries/regions |
* Wikimedia should focus on increasing geographic diversity of readers ** Segmentation should identify priority markets on each continent |
| * Wikimedia’s core products and services require Internet access to utilize ** Segmentation prioritizes countries/regions based on Internet access (via PC and mobile) |
* Wikimedia will prioritize expanding its products and services to include off-line access w/ a mobile device ** Segmentation prioritizes countries/regions based on Internet and mobile users (w/out internet access) |
* Wikimedia will expand its products and services to provide extensive off line access ** Segmentation prioritizes countries/regions based on literate population |
| *The best way to contribute to WMF’s goal of expanding reach is to focus on growing markets where Wikipedia has lower penetration | * The best way to contribute to WMF’s goal of expanding reach is to focus on growing markets where Wikipedia has a strong base (higher penetration | * The best way to contribute to WMF’s goal of expanding reach is to focus on mature markets (i.e. high percentage online), where it has a strong base (higher penetration) |
| * Countries can be grouped into regions based on common language and to some extent history and culture | * Countries can be grouped into regions based exclusively on geographic proximity without taking into account language or culture | Countries must be considered individually and can not be grouped into regions |
Fastest growth in Internet users in Middle East/Africa and Asia Pacific
* CAGR is "compound annual growth rate"
Fastest growth in 3G+ mobile subscribers in Latin American and Africa
Note: Not all subscribers to 3G networks will have Internet capable phones; mobile subscribers includes WCDMA, WiMax, TD-SCDMA, LTE networks
Sensitivity analysis for market sizing
assuming no overlap between Internet users and 3G+ mobile subscribers, India, Brazil, and Middle East & North Africa remain most attractive
- Estimates assume no overlap between 3G+ subscribers and Internet users, therefore totals overstate online population; Internet users computed based on 2008 dataset; 3G+ mobile subscriber based on 2010 dataset.
Note: “Internet users” refers to those who are accessing via a PC. 3G+ includes WCDMA, WiMax, TD-SCDMA, LTE networks
Conclusions from sensitivity analysis
- Every region in Africa trails behind those that we identify as highest potential (India, Brazil, Arabic speaking Middle East & North Africa, Indonesia, Russia, and Turkey), even if we assume no overlap between Internet users (who connect via PC) and 3G+ mobile subscribers
- Even if we assume that people in Africa are more likely to connect solely via mobile compared to their counterparts elsewhere, all regions in Africa are still less attractive
- For example, if we assume all Turks and Indonesians connect both via mobile and PC and none of the Africans in English S. African region have access to both, the market in English S. Africa is still smaller; number of internet users who connect by a PC in Indonesia is 25M and in Turkey it is 24.4M, compared to 20.6M English S. Africans who either connect via a PC or mobile
- If we were to group all of English speaking Africa (South, West, and East) into one region and assume no overlap between Internet users who connect via a PC and 3G+ mobile subscribers, the market size would be about as large as Indonesia’s (45M as compared to 46M); however, the team that WMF would place on-the-ground in Africa would have to navigate the complexity of 16 different countries and cultures as well as an extremely large geographic area
