Mobile web traffic is at new peak levels.
Mobile web traffic rose sharply in the past year, according to new data.
After peaking at nearly 60% in mid-2022, mobile web traffic took a downturn throughout 2023 and slipped to 53%, a level last seen before the COVID-19 pandemic.
However, data from Statista presented by investment analytics site Stocklytics.com indicates that after accounting for 59.34% of all web traffic in the first quarter of 2024, mobile device share skyrocketed roughly 6% to an all-time high of 62.7% in the first quarter of 2025, marking a 10% jump in one year.
After hitting a low of 53.4% in early 2023, down 6% from the previous year, mobile web traffic began a steady climb over the past seven quarters as tracked by Statista. By the end of 2023, it had inched up to 54.6%, but the major surge came in 2024, bringing one of the biggest growths in the market’s history.
By mid-year, mobile’s share in web traffic had crossed the 60% threshold for the first time in history. Statista cites the rise of 5G networks and AI-powered search as making mobile browsing much smoother in the past year.
