In 2018, ICT technologies were the more and more widespread throughout Italy, even though a significant gap persisted compared with other EU countries, both for enterprises and citizens.<\/p>\n

In 2018, households accessing the Internet through broadband connections rose to 73.7% (up from 70.2% in 2017).<\/p>\n

Almost all the enterprises with at least 10 persons employed (94.2%) used mobile or fixed broadband connections. Enterprises with download speed of\u00a0Internet\u00a0connection of at least 30 Mbit\/s increased significantly (from 22.1% in 2017 to 29% in 2018).<\/p>\n

During the last 12 months, 68.5% of people aged 6 and more were connected to the Web (65.3% in 2017), and more than half (52.1%) surfed the internet every day.<\/p>\n

People aged 15-24 showed the highest level of internet use (94%), and in fact age continued to be the main discriminating factor. However, people aged 65-74 reached 39.3% from 30.8%.<\/p>\n

Among people aged 14 and over, the Smartphone was the most used device for accessing the Internet (89.2%), followed by Desktop computer (45.4%). Quite used also laptops or netbooks (28.3%), tablets 26.1%, less used other mobile devices such as ebook and smart watch (6.7%).<\/p>\n

Companies investing in digital were increasing and the share providing ICT training for the personnel went up from 12.9% to 16.9%.<\/p>\n

Among people aged 16-74 using the internet in the last 3 months, 20.2% wanted to arrange an accommodation through dedicated websites or apps (such as AIRBNB). Moreover, almost one third published its own generated web content.<\/p>\n

The use of intermediaries for eCommerce significantly increased: companies selling via web (64.1% in 2017, up from 53.8% in 2016), used at least one e-marketplace and 50.2% (up from 39.1% in 2016) achieved at least half of the web turnover through those intermediaries.<\/p>\n

Internet shoppers rose from 53% in 2017 to 55.9% in 2018; among non-internet shoppers over the last 3 months, 43.9% searched on the internet for information, goods or services to buy.<\/p>\n

The level of digitalization was meaningfully different between large and small enterprises. According to the Digital intensity indicator, High levels of digitalisation (“High” or “Very high”) were reached by 44.0% of companies with at least 250 persons employed and by 12.2% of companies with 10 to 49 persons employed.<\/p>\n

Large Italian companies showed a higher propensity in using emerging technologies or within the general European average. More in detail, 30% analysed big data (25% in Eu28); 13% used 3D printers (as in Eu28) and 26% robotics (25% in EU28).<\/p>\n

In 2016-2017 less than three companies out of 10 made technological investments or intended to invest in 2018-2019. Nevertheless, IT security, web applications and cloud computing were indicated as companies\u2019 business priorities in ICT.<\/p>\n

A\u00a0share\u00a0of the\u00a0businesses with at least 10 persons employed (22.4%) considered the development of employed human resources\u2019 technological capabilities one of the three main competitive factors for 2018-2019, along with public facilities (48.5%) and access to ultra-broadband infrastructures and connections (30.8%).<\/p>\n
