Analysis# Madagascar Internet Users
Madagascar's internet penetration stands at 18.678% of the population in 2024, marking the country's all-time peak. This represents a dramatic shift from 1990, when virtually no internet access existed. Over three decades, Madagascar has built digital infrastructure from zero, though current connectivity remains substantially below global averages and lags many regional peers.
Growth accelerated notably after 2015, when penetration was just 4.174%. The period from 2020 to 2024 saw particularly rapid expansion, climbing from 11.355% to 18.678%—suggesting that mobile technology and improved infrastructure investments have gained momentum. With nearly one-fifth of the population now online, Madagascar's trajectory indicates sustained digital expansion, though substantial segments remain unconnected due to geographic challenges and economic constraints.
