Generation Z, the group of young “tech savvy” adults who were born in the late 1990s through current day, has proven to be the most technology-friendly generation to date. CommScope reports, according to Sincera Consulting, not only have they contributed $44 billion to the US economy but their spending is estimated to increase from 25% to 40% within the next ten years.
The more Generation Z’s digital consumption increases, the more strain it will put on the telecom industry, forcing the industry to upgrade its services. Currently, Generation Z’s digital trends are high, and it is almost certain that these stats will continue to grow. CommScope states, as reported by Sincera Consulting, 96% own a smartphone, and 60% will not use slow-to-load applications. IBM reports, also according to Sincera Consulting, downtime is spent online by 74% of Generation Z.
So, why is Generation Z consuming so much technology? The answer is simple; they have grown up in a digital world, becoming accustomed to the advantages of technology driven devices. Business Insider reports, approximately 80% of teens were given their first smartphone between 11 and 13 years of age.
