Internet Users: Peru

Analysis# Peru Internet Users Peru's internet penetration reached 81.957% of the population in 2024, matching the all-time peak for the country. This represents a dramatic transformation from 1990, when virtually zero percent of Peruvians had internet access. Over the past 34 years, the nation has achieved near-universal digital connectivity, positioning itself among the higher-connected countries in Latin America. The most significant acceleration occurred between 2015 and 2024, when internet users nearly doubled from 40.853% to 81.957%. Growth particularly accelerated during 2020–2021, likely driven by pandemic-related demand for remote work and education. The steady annual gains of 3-5 percentage points since 2015 suggest Peru's digital infrastructure has matured substantially, with expansion now approaching saturation levels in the population.
