Analysis# Cabo Verde Internet Users
Cabo Verde reached 74.735% internet penetration in 2024, matching its all-time peak. This represents a dramatic transformation from 0% in 1990, when digital connectivity was nonexistent. Over 34 years, the nation has built one of the more connected populations in the African region, with internet access expanding steadily across the archipelago.
The most striking acceleration occurred between 2019 and 2020, when internet users jumped from 61.943% to 69.373%—a gain of 7.43 percentage points in a single year, likely driven by pandemic-related digital adoption. Since then, growth has plateaued, increasing just 1.362 percentage points over the following four years. The trajectory suggests Cabo Verde is approaching saturation in internet adoption, with further expansion constrained by remaining infrastructure and affordability gaps.
