Henceforth Google Inc., needs a strong, seamless and high-end strategy for the emerging markets: stakes and opportunities.
Until now, Google has spent and invested lot of money in United States and in United Kingdom to improve its services, expand its influence, acquire companies and for consolidate its R&D division.
This is natural because, both markets combined (infrastructures,
regulators, purchasing power and more) represent a secure landscape for its
investments and operations. But the growth is now drawn from the emerging
markets and the battle for the Chinese market is henceforth lost.
The signal from its revenues of $15.42 billion for the quarter ended
March 31, 2014, is quite clear. Google needs to reconsider its strategy in this
market.
Its revenues from outside of the United States totaled $8.76 billion,
representing 57% of total revenues in the first quarter of 2014, compared to
56% in the fourth quarter of 2013 and 55% in the first quarter of 2013.
In the United Kingdom, Connectikpeople.co has captured a $1.58 billion,
representing 10% of total revenues in the first quarter of 2014, compared to
11% in the first quarter
of 2013.
The performance from its sites remains remarkable. They are generated
revenues of $10.47 billion, or 68% of total revenues, in the first quarter of
2014. This represents a 21% increase over first quarter of 2013 sites revenues
of $8.64 billion.
As a must-attend landmark for an
end-to-end digital transformation, Connectikpeople.co congratulates Google for
this performance, but this is not enough when it come to embrace the future.
We encourage Google Venture and Google Capital to stimulate their
presence in the emerging markets.
Connectikpeople.co recalls that, Google Inc. revenues for the quarter
ended March 31, 2014 were $15.42 billion, representing a 19% increase over
