Remember what you were doing when a global pandemic hit the world? Now think about how you received that information? Was it the internet that you were accessing through a mobile? The pandemic made the internet a vital necessity for working, learning, accessing basic services, and keeping people connected. The latest ITU data shows that the uptake of the Internet has accelerated during the pandemic. In 2019, 4.1 billion people (54% of the world's total population) were using the Internet. Since then, the number of users has surged by 782 million to reach 4.9 billion people in 2021 (63% of the
world's total population).

There are 5.31 billion unique mobile phone users in the world today, according to the latest data from GSMA Intelligence. The number of smartphones in use is growing at an annual rate of 5.7%, with an average of close to 1 million new smartphones coming into use every day. Clearly, there is a growing need, and this is where Taiwan Excellence comes in with its wide range of award-winning products that are redefining various industry trends with innovation.
