Internet Users: Eswatini

Analysis# Eswatini Internet Users Internet penetration in Eswatini reached 63.403% of the population in 2024, marking both the country's all-time peak and its highest recorded value since data collection began in 1990. The nation recorded zero internet users in 1990, making the trajectory from that baseline to today's level a transformation spanning over three decades. This growth reflects broader regional and global patterns of digital expansion across Africa. The most dramatic acceleration occurred between 2015 and 2024, when internet users nearly doubled from 25.643% to 63.403%. The period from 2020 to 2024 proved particularly pivotal, with adoption climbing 14.39 percentage points in just four years—a pace suggesting sustained momentum in connectivity infrastructure and mobile technology adoption. Eswatini's upward trend shows no signs of plateauing, positioning the country toward even higher penetration rates in coming years.
