GLOBE Telecoms said more Filipinos are using data during the first three months of the year.

In a statement, Globe said that they noted an uptrend in demand for mobile data.

They said that they logged 1,610 petabytes of mobile data traffic in the first quarter of 2024, a 19% increase from the same period last year at 1,352.

The average mobile data consumption per user has also seen a sharp hike, surging by 24% to an average of 15.6 GB per month. 

This increase is indicative of the growing engagement and reliance on mobile data among consumers, as digital content consumption and online activities continue to rise.

 This drove the growth of Globe’s mobile data revenues by 10% in the first three months of the year, reaching P 23.8 billion, up from P21.7 billion in the same period last year.
