Analysis# Mozambique Internet Users
As of 2024, 20.527% of Mozambique's population uses the internet, marking the country's highest penetration rate on record. This figure represents a dramatic shift from 1990, when internet access was virtually nonexistent at 0%. The trajectory from that baseline to today reflects Mozambique's gradual but accelerating adoption of digital connectivity over three decades.
Growth accelerated noticeably after 2015, when penetration stood at just 6.5%. The rate of increase steepened from 2018 onward, jumping from 10.9% to 14.287% by 2020, then climbing steadily through 2024. Recent years show consistent annual gains of 1-2 percentage points, suggesting Mozambique's digital infrastructure continues expanding as more citizens gain access to internet services.
