Internet Users: Chile

Analysis# Chile Internet Users Chile has achieved near-universal internet penetration, with 95.59% of its population online as of 2024. This figure represents both the country's all-time peak and a remarkable transformation from zero connectivity in 1990. Over the past three-and-a-half decades, Chile has built one of Latin America's most connected societies, closing a digital divide that once excluded the entire population. The acceleration intensified after 2015, when internet penetration stood at 76.63%. The subsequent nine years saw growth of nearly 19 percentage points, with particularly steep gains between 2021 and 2024—climbing from 90.23% to 95.59%. This upward trajectory shows no signs of plateauing, suggesting Chile continues expanding access to previously unconnected populations and reinforcing its position as a regional digital leader.
