The line graph delineates the average daily smartphone usage, measured in minutes, across four distinct age groups from 2015 to 2025.
Overall, it is evident that smartphone usage increased consistently across all age demographics during the period under review, with the youngest cohort exhibiting the highest levels of usage.
In 2015, individuals aged 18 to 24 reported an average daily smartphone use of 164 minutes, the highest among the groups, while those aged 50 and above displayed the lowest usage at 108 minutes. By 2025, the trend persisted, with the youngest group escalating their usage to 114 minutes. The data highlights a significant disparity between these generations, with the youth demonstrating a pronounced inclination towards smartphone engagement.
In contrast, the other two age groups, 25 to 29 years and 30 to 49 years, illustrated less pronounced increases. The 25 to 29 age group began at 124 minutes in 2015 and rose to 154 minutes by 2025, whereas the 30 to 49 age group started at 146 minutes and reached 176 minutes in the same timeframe. Notably, the 30 to 49 age group consistently surpassed the 25 to 29 age group in smartphone use throughout the decade. This trend underscores a relative stagnation in smartphone engagement among the latter group compared to their older counterparts.
