The objective of the study is to find out which country having the fastest changes to proceed to the digital economy.

Nonetheless, they still have good opportunities to promote the digital business. Some of them can make a breakthrough with effective measures.

From the survey, Break Out Group includes India, China, Brazil, Vietnam, and Philippines. These countries are significant growing in terms of digital. Nonetheless, it is forecasted that the next development stage is more difficult to complete. Remaining this speed means that the countries will have to solve many challenges such as improving the infrastructure or attracting smart consumers. Meanwhile, Watch Out Group includes Indonesia, Russia, Nigeria, Egypt and Kenya. The common features of this group are institutional instability and low possibility of reforming. They have one or two elements to attract investment, in which the most outstanding one is the population.  If removing the problems of institutional instability and low possibility of reforming and taking advantage of population, these countries will make use of resources efficiently. Almost Western countries, Australia, and Japan belongs to Stall Out Group. The only way to make a lead is follow the way of Stand Out countries, try to make double breakthrough, and seek international markets.  In the future, it is expected that consumers will purchase goods by mobile devices. International influence will become more and more increasing. All are moving towards the digital planet with different speeds.
