operating systems reports

This extensive report shows many detailed statistics of the operating system market.

Our technology market report is a detailed monthly report on the usage of operating systems on websites. The report comes via email as a PDF file and has over 5,350 pages with hierarchical bookmarks that make it easy to navigate. It covers this information:

  • List of all operating systems
    Which operating systems are covered? Shows a list of all 32 operating systems monitored for our surveys, together with a short description and a link to the website.
  • Usage Report
    How popular is each of the operating systems? Shows percentages of usage for all operating systems that we monitor. Also shows how much these figures changed compared to the last month and to the last year.
  • Historical Trend Report
    How did the popularity of the operating systems change over time? Shows tables and diagrams of historical trends of usage for all operating systems since January 2014. Please note, that we permanently keep adding more operating systems to our surveys, therefore not all of them cover the entire time frame.
  • Growth Rate Report
    Which are the fastest growing operating systems? Shows the current growth rates in the usage of all operating systems both in absolute figures and percentages in the last month and in the last year.
  • Trend Analysis Report
    Which market segments contributed most to usage changes of each operating system? Shows which geographical regions, identified by top level domain and content language, saw the most significant popularity gains or declines in the popularity of the various operating systems in the last 12 months.
  • New Site Usage Report
    How popular is each of the operating systems among new sites? Shows percentages of usage for all operating systems among sites that were first visited in the last month, because they have only recently entered the top 10 million sites.
  • Top Site Usage Report
    Which operating systems are primarily used by high traffic sites? Shows for each operating system the share of top sites among all the sites that use that specific operating system.
  • Page Speed Report
    What is the average speed when loading pages of different operating systems? Shows for each of the 15 operating systems, for which we have at least 100 measurements, the average Time to First Byte (TTFB) and Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) measurements, obtained from Google's Chrome User Experience Report (CrUX).
  • Change Report
    Which percentage of sites switched between operating system? Shows for each operating system the percentages of websites that recently switched to or from another operating system as well as the top five operating systems that were involved in such changes.
  • List of up to 300 sites that switched between operating systems
    Which popular sites changed their operating system? Shows the 300 most popular sites that switched from one operating system to another in the last month (if there are that many sites in a month). Also shows the involved operating systems.
  • List of sites that use specific operating systems
    For each of the 32 operating systems: which popular sites use it, which sites started or stopped using it recently? Shows up to 50 popular sites that use a specific operating system, and up to 50 sites that started using it in the last month, and up to 50 sites that stopped using it in the last month (if there are that many sites in a month).

  • Multiple Operating Systems Usage Report
    How frequently are more than one operating system used on one site, and which ones? Shows for each operating system statistics on the usage together with other operating systems. We identify here usage on the same site, not necessarily on the same page.
  • Cross-Technologies Market Segmentation Reports
    Which operating systems are particularly strong in which markets? A large set of reports evaluating the combined usage of two categories of web technologies. This shows, for example, the usage and ranks of all operating systems on any top level domain compared to the usage on all websites.
