Abstract
When it comes to things online in the UK, men lead the way. In 2008, for
example, UK males made up 51% of the online population. In fact, in almost all
age groups, men accessed the Web more frequently and matched or surpassed
women in time spent online.
The UK Men Online report analyzes the patterns of male behavior on the
Internet and what those habits mean for marketers.
With the number of male Web users in the UK rising to 22 million in 2013, they
will remain the online majority during the next five years. But barely,
accounting for 50.5% of UK Internet users.
They will make up an important half, however.
Communications, entertainment and e-commerce are leading activities for UK men
online, and in these areas their behavior differs from female Internet users.
Shopping online, for example, men gravitate toward specialty sites to begin
their search for products and services, while women head to search engines. In
addition, men are more engaged with the mobile Web than women.
