Internet Users: Venezuela

Analysis# Venezuela Internet Users Venezuela's internet penetration reached 76.679% of the population in 2024, matching its all-time peak. This represents extraordinary growth from a baseline of 0% in 1990, reflecting three decades of digital infrastructure expansion across the country. The steady climb from near-zero connectivity to three-quarters of the population demonstrates Venezuela's sustained integration into the global digital economy, despite economic and political challenges. The most striking shift occurred between 2019 and 2020, when internet users jumped from 49.05% to 72.441%—a 23-point surge in a single year. This dramatic spike suggests either major infrastructure investments, improved access policies, or shifts in measurement methodology during that period. Since 2020, growth has moderated considerably, with annual gains narrowing to less than 1% by 2023-2024, suggesting Venezuela is approaching saturation in internet penetration.
