Internet Users: Greenland

Analysis# Greenland Internet Users Greenland's internet penetration reached 69.482% of the population in 2017, matching its all-time peak. This represents a dramatic shift from 1990, when zero percent of Greenland's population had internet access. The climb from complete digital absence to nearly 70% penetration over 27 years reflects both technological advancement and infrastructure development across the remote Arctic territory. The consistent upward trajectory between 2008 and 2017 reveals sustained growth, with annual increases averaging roughly one percentage point. Greenland's internet adoption accelerated particularly after 2012, gaining 5.5 percentage points in five years. The steady progression suggests continued momentum toward higher connectivity, positioning Greenland among developed nations with substantial digital access despite its geographic isolation and small population base.
