Internet Users: Colombia

Analysis# Colombia Internet Users Colombia's internet penetration reached 79.345% of the population in 2024, matching its all-time peak for the year. This represents a dramatic transformation from 1990, when virtually no internet access existed in the country. Over the past 34 years, Colombia has built digital infrastructure that now connects nearly four in five citizens, reflecting both technological advancement and increasing accessibility across urban and rural regions. The most significant acceleration occurred after 2015, when penetration stood at 55.905%. Between 2015 and 2024, Colombia added nearly 24 percentage points of users—a gain driven by mobile connectivity expansion and improved broadband infrastructure. A notable surge happened during 2020, jumping from 65.007% in 2019 to 69.795%, likely accelerated by pandemic-driven remote work and learning demands. The trajectory suggests Colombia continues strengthening its digital economy foundation as connectivity becomes increasingly ubiquitous.
