Measurement platform comScore is introducing mobile consumer panel data in Malaysia with upgrades to MMX Multi-Platform and Mobile Metrix in order to "better capture digital audience consumption in the country", it said.The new mobile panel data is expected to assist in expanding comScore’s measurement of mobile audiences in Malaysia, and enable more "robust reporting" of visitation, engagement and demographics (including new segments for age and gender), said the company.ComScore's MMX Multi-Platform and Mobile Metrix combines data from desktop and mobile consumer panels with data from the comScore census network. The approach serves to provide a persons-based measurement of total digital reach. The latest development in Malaysia will add comScore’s advancement in mobile measurement solutions to a total of 13 markets across the globe.Joe Nguyen (pictured), senior vice president of Asia Pacific at comScore added, “The introduction of (Android) mobile panel data is an important development in advancing digital audience measurement in Malaysia.”As smartphones and tablets play an increasingly significant role in consumers’ lives, Nguyen said, robust and unduplicated measurement across platforms as well as devices is critical for media buyers and sellers to plan and optimise their digital strategies. "We have received strong support from the media and advertising industry in Malaysia, and continue to be committed to delivering quality solutions to the market,” he added.Check out some of the latest statistics and findings by comScore:Top 10 properties visited from desktop and mobile devices in MalaysiaIn April 2017, 50.5% of Malaysia’s total digital population of 18.8 million unique visitors or viewers accessed the internet from both desktop and mobile platforms. 30.8% of the 13.7 million mobile users accessed exclusively via smartphones and tablets, making 22.5% of the total digital population "mobile only."Google Sites ranked number one with 15.5 million unique visitors or viewers, followed by Facebook with 13.9 million and Yahoo Sites with 7.9 million.
