Internet Users: Chad

Analysis# Chad Internet Users Chad's internet penetration reached 12.627% of the population in 2024, matching the all-time peak for the nation. This represents remarkable growth from a baseline of 0% in 1990, though the metric remained negligible through the early 2000s. The country's internet access has expanded steadily since 2015, when only 3.5% of the population used the internet. Acceleration became pronounced between 2020 and 2024, with penetration rates climbing from 8.343% to 12.627%—a gain of 4.3 percentage points in just four years. The consistent year-over-year increases from 2015 onward indicate sustained infrastructure investment and growing digital adoption. With connectivity nearly doubling since 2015, Chad demonstrates momentum in bridging its digital divide, though internet access remains limited compared to regional and global averages.
