SINGAPORE, Jan. 28, 2015 (Antara/PRNewswire) -- Appier, the cross-screen marketing technology company, today published its latest Cross-Screen User Behavior Research Report, providing insights into how users interact with PCs, smartphones and tablets, and their engagement across different devices. This report is based on the data from Appier campaigns run in 8 markets[1] in the second half of 2014.

The following are key findings for Southeast Asian markets, including Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Vietnam:

  • Insight on cross-screen user behavior is becoming increasingly important.
o In Singapore, 46% of multi-device users (people who own more than two devices) own three or more devices, higher than Vietnam (40%), Indonesia (37%), and Malaysia (36%)
o Users in Vietnam have highly similar behaviors (74%) across devices, yet only 25% of multi-device users in Singapore have this tendency.
  • Usage of multi-device is highly dependent on time of day & day of week.
o PC Usage is higher on the weekdays, while mobile devices usage is higher on the weekends.
o PC usage is higher at work while mobile device usage is higher before and after work.
  • Consumer preference for screen size is shifting towards the middle.
o Larger smartphones (>5 inch) and smaller tablets (7-8.9 inch) have increased in Q4.
o Mid-size devices (4-4.8 inch phones & 9.7 inch tablets) still make up for the majority.
  • Ad Effects vary based on device types and screen sizes for game, retail, and travel industries.
o Game ads have higher CTR (click-through rate) on small phones (<4.8 inch) and large tablets (>9.7 inch).
o Users click more retail and travel ads on their mobile devices.

"This report demonstrates the complexity of user behaviors across multiple devices. Without intelligent data analysis, it's difficult for marketers to predict their target audiences' user behaviors in this multi-screen era. At Appier, we leverage the power of Artificial Intelligence and big data to provide consumer insights for marketers to develop their customized marketing campaigns," said Chih-Han Yu, Appier co-founder and CEO.
