What are the odds if you asked the proverbial “woman-in-the-street” “Are you using your Smartphone more than you did a few years ago?” the answer would be yes! Close to 100%. Here are some stats to back that up.

  • In 2020, the number of global e-mail users amounted to four billion with a little over 300 billion emails sent daily. These stats are expected to 4.6 billion email users and 376 billion emails every day by 2025.

  • In 2017 about 81% of users accessed email from smartphones. According to Adobe, 85% of users now use smartphones to access email while checking emails via desktop and laptop computers.

  • Using desktop and laptop computers for checking emails is going down year-over-year; 74% of users reported checking their email via desktop and laptop in 2018, compared to 69% last year.

  • Mobile devices show up to 30 characters from an email’s subject line. Looking at mobile vs desktop email opens it’s important to note that desktops show 60 characters of an email’s subject line.

  • More than 50% of email campaigns are viewed on mobile.

  • Checking email is what 58% of adults do first thing in the morning.

  • Mobile email trends find that 40% of users from all age groups expressed that email is both an essential and fundamental communication form in their lives.
