The number of local searches made with mobile phones is increasing rapidly and currently accounts for around 20% of the Eniro Groupas total searches. Eniroas digital revenue is thus continuing to grow, accounting for about 70% of the Groupas total revenue, excluding Voice.

aEniro currently holds a strong position in the market for Mobile Local Search. Mobile searches continue to grow rapidly and Eniro is a leading player in the development of user-friendly products that make daily local searches easier. By continuing to capitalize on our extensive information database, we also reach end users in other channels in which users search for local information,a says Johan Lindgren, President and CEO of Eniro.

In the continued process to develop Eniroas mobile offering, the company has today launched a new, updated mobile app for the iPhone. The app has an entirely new user interface and proceeds on the basis of the useras geographic position to enable the best possible search result in the local area.
