Asia Pacific, Europe, and North America will be home to the largest groups of gay and lesbian Internet users, the research found.
“Web-based marketers need to get a clue. This is a significant market segment that cannot be ignored and certainly not alienated,” said Computer Economics VP of research, Michael Erbschloe.
“The North American gay and lesbian online population will remain the largest over the next five years, but in all other regions the populations will more than double, and in some cases more than triple.”
According to Computer Economics, the area with the fastest rate of growth in its gay and lesbian Internet population will be South America, with a growth rate of 227 percent. South America is followed by Asia Pacific, at 197 percent, and Africa at 151 percent.
