Internet Users: Congo, Republic of

Analysis# Congo, Republic of Internet Users As of 2024, 47.252% of Congo's population uses the internet, marking the country's all-time peak. This represents a dramatic reversal from 1990, when internet access stood at 0% of the population. Over three decades, Congo has transformed from complete digital absence to nearly half its population connected online. The acceleration intensified after 2015, when just 7.616% had internet access. Between 2019 and 2024, the growth rate accelerated sharply, climbing from 16.116% to 47.252%—a gain of 31 percentage points in five years alone. This trajectory suggests continued expansion, though reaching universal connectivity will require sustained infrastructure investment and economic growth to bridge the digital divide among the remaining 52.7% without access.
