A surprising trend is the growing number of online gamers. One in three Poles regularly plays games, most often on smartphones. Arcade and strategy games, as well as e-sports platforms like Twitch, are increasingly popular. Research shows that younger generations often treat gaming as a way to connect with friends.

Digital public services have seen significant growth. A total of 60% of respondents use applications like mObywatel or e-prescriptions at least once a month.

This solution is particularly appreciated by older adults and residents of small towns, where traveling to government offices can be challenging.

Compared to the previous year, this is an increase of 9%.

The study was conducted in September 2024 using the CAWI method (Computer Assisted Web Interview) on two survey samples (a total of 2,654 interviews). The full content can be read on https://regionynexery.pl/raport-2024/
