Internet Users: Cuba

Analysis# Cuba Internet Users Cuba's internet penetration reached 70.477% of the population in 2024, approaching its all-time peak of 71.119% recorded in 2020. The nation has transformed dramatically since 1990, when zero percent of Cubans had internet access. Over three decades, the country built digital infrastructure from nothing, making this growth trajectory one of the most striking in the developing world. The most significant acceleration occurred between 2015 and 2020, when penetration nearly doubled from 37.305% to 71.119%—a period reflecting expanded mobile connectivity and government investment in broadband networks. A slight dip followed in 2021 (67.644%), but the trend has steadily recovered through 2024. Current momentum suggests Cuba will continue approaching its historical peak, with ongoing infrastructure development likely to sustain growth in internet accessibility.
